  • Have you ever thought about writing a masters or PhD with a focus on data visualization? If so, come talk to me. There are funding opportunities in the form of scholarships, bursaries, and other sources of financial aid for those wishing to take up postgraduate study.

    Collaboration with Industry: Are you a business interested in collaborating with researchers? Collaboration with an academic partner offers a number of benefits including: cutting edge and innovative ideas, education on state-of-the-art software, access to specialists in the field, opportunities for potential hires, opportunities to test higher risk ideas. If you are interested in collaborating, please let us know.

    Students: Also, We are looking for students (undergraduate, masters, and PhD) interested in undertaking leading research work in the field of data visualization. Data visualization, a vibrant, exciting and rapidly expanding sub-field of computer science, is concerned with the use of computers and their graphics capabilities in order to generate meaningful imagery that provides insight into data from various sources. Please let me know if you have questions or would like to talk about applying.

    Research: Bob's main research interests lie in data visualization including scientific and information visualization and visual analytics. The fastest, easiest, and most enjoyable way to get an idea of the research we have done is to simply watch our visualization research videos. These are the only research videos of their kind in the entire United Kingdom. The videos are availabe on YouTube.
