<H2 CLASS="p1"><SPAN CLASS="s1">Data Visualization Across Disciplines</SPAN></H2>
<P><SPAN CLASS="s1">What can help enable both the treatment of heart disease and the discovery of newborn stars? Visualization. Specifically interdisciplinary data visualization, the sharing and co-development of tools and techniques across domains. In this talk, Dr. Michelle Borkin will share sample results from her own research and experience crossing disciplines and bringing together the knowledge and experts of computational physics, computer science, astrophysics, radiology and medicine. She will present new visualization techniques and tools inspired by this work for the astronomical and medical communities.</SPAN></P>
<H4 CLASS="p2">Speaker Bio:</H4>
<P CLASS="p1"><SPAN CLASS="s1">Dr. Michelle Borkin works on the development of novel visualization techniques and tools to enable new insights and discoveries in data. She works across disciplines to bring together computer scientists, doctors, and astronomers to collaborate on new analysis and visualization techniques, and cross-fertilize techniques across disciplines. Her research has resulted in the development of novel computer assisted diagnostics in cardiology, scalable visualization solutions for large network data sets, and novel astrophysical visualization tools and discoveries. Her main research interests include information and scientific visualization, hierarchical and multidimensional data representations, network visualization, visualization cognition, user interface design, human computer interaction (HCI), and evaluation methodologies. </SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="p2"><SPAN CLASS="s1">Prior to joining Northeastern University, Dr. Borkin was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, as well as Associate in Computer Science at Harvard and Research Fellow at Brigham & Women's Hospital. She received her Ph.D. in Applied Physics at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) in 2014. She also has an MS in Applied Physics and a BA in Astronomy and Astrophysics & Physics from Harvard University. She was previously a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow, a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellow, and a TED Fellow.</SPAN><SPAN CLASS="s1"></SPAN></P>
