Sheelagh Carpendale, Tier 1 CRC in Information Visualization, is one of the world’s top scholars in Information Visualization. Her work draws on her dual background in visual arts and computing science. By studying how people interact with information in work and social settings, she designs more natural, accessible, and understandable interactive visual representations of data to better support the everyday practices of people while viewing, representing, and interacting with information.
Sheelagh Carpendale est titulaire d’une Chaire de recherche du Canada de niveau 1 en visualisation de l’information et l’une des meilleures spécialistes mondiales dans ce domaine. Son travail s’appuie sur sa double formation en arts visuels et en informatique. En étudiant les interactions entre les personnes et l’information au travail et dans la vie de tous les jours, elle conçoit des représentations visuelles interactives de données plus naturelles, accessibles et compréhensibles afin de mieux soutenir les pratiques quotidiennes.
