Laura Tateosian
Associate Teaching Professor
Mapping a Dynamic Planet, Data Synthesis and Visualization
Center for Geospatial Analytics
Bio
Laura uses geospatial analytics to innovate visualization techniques for geospatial-temporal data through advances in computer science. She develops geospatial algorithms and programming and uses controlled studies and eye tracking technology to investigate new ways to represent and interact with geospatial data. Her interests include aesthetic climatology geovisualization, coastal terrain time-series visualization, gaze-based map interaction, geo-mining narrative archives, storytelling with maps, and open-source natural resources web mapping.
