It’s still setting in but I passed my PhD viva with minor corrections last week! I want to thank the examiners Cagatay Turkay and Peter A. Hall and my supervisor Greg McInerny for a wonderful viva experience and João Porto de Albuquerque for the support from afar. #almostphdone

I’ll be on the job market this fall and am interested in #postdoc and research positions around critical visualisation, critical data studies, and related areas.

My PhD research has examined how critical data studies and #datavis can be integrated and specifically how seamful visualisation—as an analytical lens, tool, and practice—can enable a critical approach to data and their visualisation. 1/3

Our paper on exploring and representing data limitations with/in visualisation/s is out as part of a special issue with papers from the Information+ conference 2021.
In the case study, we apply visualisation critique and design to surface different types of missingness in/of urban tree data. It’s part of my PhD work that explores methods and concepts for critical visualisation.
