Saeed Boorboor
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago. 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.
Prior to joining UIC, I was 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.
