Lecture by Dr. Miriah Meyer, Assistant Professor, School of Computing

Recorded: August 14, 2013 

 

One of the most striking and unique aspects about this moment in human history is the amount of data we are generating. It holds the promise of unlocking mysteries of the universe; untangling complex natural and man-made systems; and allowing us to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. Dr. Meyer discussed how we design interactive visualizations and how scientists use these tools to glean insight from complex data.
