Quick Bio |
I received a PhD in computer science from The Ohio State University in 1998. I am currently a professor in the Computer Science Department at Stony Brook University and I am also a senior scientist at the Computational Science Initiative at Brookhaven National Lab. From 2012-2015, I served as the founding chair of the Computer Science Department at SUNY Korea and I was also VP for Academic Affairs and Finance at SUNY Korea for two years. My current main research interests are visual analytics, explainable machine learning and AI, algorithmic fairness and transparency, data science and computational and medical imaging. I won the US National Science Foundation Early Career award in 2001, the SUNY Chancellor Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activity in 2011, and the Meritorious Service Certificate and the Golden Core Award of the IEEE Computer Society in 2016. In 2018 I was inducted into the US National Academy of Inventors. To date, I have authored more than 300 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, which have been cited more than 11,500 times. I am a frequent speaker at international conferences, have organized or participated in 18 tutorials on various topics, chaired the IEEE Visualization Conference in 2009, and was the elected chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Visualization and Computer Graphics (VGTC) from 2012-2015. I currently serve as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. I am a senior member of the IEEE.
