In 2011-12 I worked in Germany as a Humboldt Fellow and in 2006-07 I was in Botswana as a Fulbright Scholar.
  • See the very cool MOCS system, which lets you generate Maps of Computer Science, with heatmap profiles of various conferences (e.g., STOC), journals over time (e.g., JACM first decade vs last decade), as well as researchers and groups.
  • Also recent is our "new and improved" AngryAnts system which lets citizen scientist help biologists by tracking ants in ant-colony videos.
  • I am one of the Program Committee chairs for the IEEE PacificVis conference in 2012.
  • I am on the Program Committee for the Symposium on Graph Drawing 2012 and IEEE PacificVis 2013.
  • I am co-organizing a Dagstuhl seminar on Map-based Visualization in June 2012 and on Visualization with Curves in April 2013.
  • A paper about contact representation of Laman graphs was accepted at SODA 2013.
  • One in a series of papers about cartograms won the best paper award at ISAAC 2011; the latest one was accepted at SoCG 2012.
  • A couple of survey papers about force-directed algorithms and simultaneous graph embedding.
  • A recent NSF grant about proportional graph representation was awarded for 2011-2014.
  • A collaborative effort on citizen science and bioimaging is funded by an NSF grant for 2010-2013.
  • Some new movies, images, and live demo from the Lombardi spring embedder project.
  • The algorithms that generate our maps of Bookland, TVLand, and MusicLand are now available in GraphViz. MusicLand has over 640K views on StumbleUpon.
  • Graphael has some nice movies illustrating evolving graphs, including graph drawing topic evolution and information visualization topic evolution.
  • An animated gif showing traditional and multiscale spring embedders in GRIP
  • Google Scholar and DBLP both list most of my papers.
