Elsie Lee-Robbins

I am a Ph.D. candidate, in my fifth year at the School of Information at the University of Michigan. My research interests are data visualization and human-computer interaction. My academic research explores how to design effective communicative visualizations. I use foundations in visual perception and cognitive science to understand how people read visualizations. Lately, I've been interviewing data visualization designers to talk to them about their design process and how they think about their dataviz goals.

For fun, I like to make art with watercolors and other random mediums, go hiking and camping, and play with my dog Pancake.
