PhD in Engineering

Data visualisations are used for communication in a wide variety of contexts. They form a crucial part of research, appearing in journal articles, posters, and presentations. The research team have had success in studying the visualisation design based on perceptual theories, and in testing those designs using fully-reproducible, large sample size, online experiments. The scope of the proposed project is open-ended to allow the successful applicant to carve out their own niche in the data visualisation research landscape. They will contribute to a growing literature on data visualisation design informed by rigorous empirical study.
