Tag: visualization
Visualization is an important tool for researchers in many fields, from data science to biology to the humanities.
Visualization researchers engage in projects with departments such as Industrial and Systems Engineering, Design Studies, Library and Information Studies, Nursing, Art, Dance as well as projects in Digital Humanities.
Visualization is a key component of WID’s Data Science Hub.
