Welcome to VIDA
The Visualization and Data Analytics Research Center at NYU consists of computer scientists who work closely with domain experts to apply the latest advances in computing to problems of critical societal importance, and simultaneously generate hypotheses and methods that new data sources and data types demand.
We work in the areas of Visualization, Imaging, and Data Analysis.
VISUALIZATION
Research in graphic design methods as well as the effective use of visualization methods and techniques to explore and interpret high-dimensional data. Our group has worked in urban and sports computing, as well as in the areas of biochemistry, cybersecurity, development, healthcare, climate science, and human rights.
IMAGING
Development of novel imaging analysis methodologies related to segmentation, shape analysis, and image statistics. Our work is multidisciplinary, primarily collaborating with experts in clinical imaging on research in areas including schizophrenia, autism, and multiple sclerosis.
DATA ANALYSIS
Creation of novel data management and analysis methods applied to urban, scientific, web, and public health domains. Our group has particular expertise in provenance and computational reproducibility and personal-data informatics.
