Make the web smarter - using better and faster graphics & visualization, for mobile & desktop.
I work toward this by taking existing data visualizations and automatically improving interactions
and rendering performance.
Projects
Scalable Scalable Vector Graphics
performance
Solve the major data visualization problem that SVG rendering is slow by rendering any visualization
in a multi-thread canvas application and keeping track of changes.
VisConnect
collaboration
Automatically support distributed collaboration in data visualizations.
EasyPZ.js Pan & Zoom Library for Visualizations
interactivity mobile
EasyPZ makes it extremely easy to use advanced pan and zoom techniques on data visualizations.
Evaluating Pan & Zoom Timelines and Sliders
interactivity mobile
Which pan and zoom techniques should be used in data visualization, on mobile and desktop? This paper
sheds some light into this question by comparing navigation speeds.
Perfetto UI: Performance instrumentation and tracing for Android, Linux and Chrome
performance
Perfetto is Google's new system for performance analysis using tracing. As of 2020, Perfetto
is part of the Chrome browser and you can record traces at the interface below.
I helped create the core architecture and crucial parts of the web-based trace viewer UI.
Maximizing Resolvable Items: A Mantra of Mobile Visualization
mobile
How do we interact with a lot of data on mobile devices, where screen sizes are small and selection
accuracy is low? The Mantra of Maximizing the Resolvable Items can guide you through this challenge.
booc.io: An Education System with Hierarchical Concept Maps and Dynamic Non-linear Learning Plans
What's the fastest way to learn X? What do I need to know, what can I skip? This project answers
these questions for students in a class using a hierarchical visualization to give an overview of a course.
