The giCentre is based in the Department of Computer Science at City St George’s, University London. We are an internationaly recognised research group that specialise in developing and applying new techniques for visual data analysis and presentation. This includes visual analytics and dashboards of 'big data' that drives complex decisions across a variety of domains; presentations of personalised data; visual data narratives; and visualisation art. We innovate with interactive visual techniques ranging from cartography and GIS to linked statistical graphics; explore connections with machine learning and intelligent agengs; and pursue state of the art user-centred visualisation design and evaluation methodologies. We work extensively with applied practitioners to create visualisations that solve their problems and make real-life impact. Some of the clients we have worked with include Transport for London, Nokia, eon energy, Advanced Infrastructure Technologies, MediaCom, Unruly Media, Willis Group, Leicestershire County Council, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and the BBC.
