Saeed Boorboor

I am currently a Principal Research Scientist at the Center for Visual Computing, Stony Brook University. I received my Ph.D. in CS from Stony Brook University, advised by Prof. Arie E. Kaufman

My research seeks to design, build, and evaluate visualization systems that empower domain scientists to explore, analyze, and interact with scientific data, using methods of human-centered design, image processing, computer graphics, and applied AI. I am also interested in investigating novel visualization and interaction methods across immersive technologies -- from hand-held and wearable devices to large display modalities.  

 

I will be joining the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, in Fall 2025, where I’ll be affiliated with the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL).

I'm looking for students to join my lab in Fall 2025.
