I direct the Information Visions Lab, where we study how data communication influences real-world decisions - from housing and healthcare to climate change and pandemics. Using Human-Computer Interaction and Information Visualization, we examine how people understand data, when they trust it, and how design choices shape engagement. We create tools and design approaches that help diverse communities work with data in ways that are useful, empowering, and trustworthy.
