DESCRIPTION:By : Alexander Lex - Harvard School of Engineering\nIC Faculty
  candidateAbstract :\nToday\, scientific discovery is increasingly data dr
 iven and requires computational support. However\, there is an important c
 lass of problems for which purely automatic approaches do not suffice\, si
 nce they require human reasoning and decision making and can benefit from 
 contextual knowledge humans possess. In my talk I will show how to support
  this interplay between data\, computation\, visualization and humans.\nI 
 will give examples from molecular biology\, specifically multivariate biol
 ogical networks\, but also introduce broadly applicable visual analysis me
 thods for the analysis of multivariate ranking data and set-based data.Bio
  :\nAlexander Lex is a lecturer and post-doctoral visualization researcher
  in the Visual Computing Group led by Hanspeter Pfister at the Harvard Sch
 ool of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He received his PhD\, Master's an
 d undergraduate degrees from the Institute for Computer Graphics and Visio
 n at the Graz University of Technology. In 2011 he was a visiting research
 er at Prof. Peter Park's Computational Genomics Research Group at Harvard 
 Medical School.\nHe develops interactive data analysis methods for experts
  and scientists. He is a co-founder and leader of the Caleydo Project\, wh
 ich is both\, a data visualization suite for molecular biology and a platf
 orm for implementing prototypes of radical visualization ideas.  Alexande
 r is the recipient of an Erwin Schroedinger Fellowship\, granted by the Au
 strian Science Fund\, and has won numerous awards\, including multiple bes
 t paper awards or honorable mentions at visualization conferences and a be
 st dissertation award from his alma mater.More information
