Bio/Research
Tamara Munzner is an associate professor at the University of British Columbia Department of Computer Science, where she has been since 2002. She was a research scientist from 2000 to 2002 at the Compaq Systems Research Center (SRC), and earned her PhD from Stanford between 1995 and 2000. She was a technical staff member at the National Science Foundation Research Center for Computation and Visualization of Geometric Structures (The Geometry Center) at the University of Minnesota from 1991 to 1995.
Her research interests include the development, evaluation, and characterization of information visualization systems and techniques from both user-driven and technique-driven perspectives. She has worked on visualization projects in a broad range of application domains, including evolutionary biology, genomics, systems biology, large-scale system administration, computer networking, web log analysis, computational linguistics, and geometric topology. She has consulted for or collaborated with many companies including Agilent, AT&T Labs, Google, Lytix, Microsoft, and Silicon Graphics.
Dr. Munzner was the IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis) Program/Papers Co-Chair in 2003 and 2004, and the Eurographics/IEEE Symposium on Visualization (EuroVis) Program/Papers Co-Chair in 2009 and 2010. She was a Member At Large of the Executive Committee of the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) from 2004 through 2009, and is currently a member of the InfoVis Steering Committee. She was one of the six authors of the 2006 Visualization Challenges Research report, commissioned by several directorates of the US National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health.
