Hello!

 ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Biswaksen.


I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Maryland College Park. I work at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Data Visualization.

​

My work leverages interactive data visualization as a platform for delving into post-WIMP user interfaces (windows, icons, menus, pointer). I am interested in designing multimodal-interaction techniques that support situated interaction.

 

I am advised by Prof. Niklas Elmqvist and Prof. Huaishu Peng.

I am a student member of HCIL, CA3, and SmartLab.
