Welcome!

I recently joined Los Alamos National Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Research Associate, where I build autonomous visualization workflows for scientific data to help scientists generate, evaluate, and optimize visualizations.

Previously, I was a Research Fellow in Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School . My research helps scientists explore biomedical data through visualization systems, with a focus on visualization retrieval, from theory to application. My primary project is Geranium, a multimodal search engine for retrieving and authoring genomics visualizations.

I earned my PhD in Computer Science from Texas Tech with a dissertation on interactive time-series visualizations. I developed of WordStream, a technique for visualizing topic evolution, and its implementation as an interactive tool, a JavaScript library, and a no-code platform.

My work has earned a NASA Visionary Grant for an interdisciplinary initiative on visualizing qualitative data for science and education, as well as honorable mention awards at IEEE VIS and the IEEE VAST Challenge.

My first name, Huyền, is pronounced as /Hoo-ee-en/. Here's how it sounds:
