Lyn Bartram presents to the DDI

Dr. Lyn Bartram’s work explores the intersecting potential of interactive technologies, visual analytics and computational media from both theoretical and applied perspectives, particularly to better support data-enabled thinking beyond the traditional applications of expert data science. She works in both standard and practice-based research methods in applications related to data visualization, personal visual analytics, computational sustainability, and computational aesthetics.

A computer scientist by training, she engages extensively with data practitioners at all levels of competence and discipline through her work as Director of VIVA, the Vancouver Institute of Visual Analytics. VIVA is an interdisciplinary university  institute with the mandate to educate, foster research collaboration and enhance literacy around data-driven thinking, visual analytics and exploratory data analysis. Our audiences and collaborators are both internal to the university and the external  community, spanning a wide scope of disciplines, domains (e.g. health, finance, governance, research, scientists and entrepreneurs) and levels of expertise.
