moz-do-not-send="true">Visualization Lab</a> focuses on
understanding human perception and cognition, as well as
designing visualization and interaction techniques for
exploring complex data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our growing labs have <b>eight open and
funded PhD positions</b> focused on data storytelling;
analytic provenance; tree and graph/network visualization;
scalable approaches for managing uncertain, inconsistent,
distributed and network data; cybersecurity and defense
geospatial network visualization; visualization for
healthcare; multidimensional data visualization; and
visualization perception and cognition. We have a rich
tradition of working on meaningful problems in collaboration
with civic, business, and global partners. Our warm,
supportive community of researchers eagerly seeks women and
minority students to promote diversity.<o:p></o:p></p>
