Aidan Slingsby appointed as lecturer in visual and analytic computing
After working in the giCentre for five years as a Willis Research Fellow, we are delighted to announce that Aidan Slingsby has been appointed as lecturer in visual and analytic computing at City. He will continue research in uncertainty and movement visualization and will now also be teaching our undergraduate and postgraduate students in data visualization and analytics. His appointment comes at a time of significant expansion in the giCentre and Department of Computer Science with two new professorial appointments in visual analytics and a lectureship in data science.
Two new appointments in visual analytics at the giCentre
We welcome Professors Natalia Andrienko and Gennady Andrienko who have just joined the giCentre as part-time academic staff. Natalia and Gennady are well-known and prolific research leaders in the Visual Analytics field. We look forward to their contribution to strengthen our teaching and research portfolio. They will also retain part-time lead scientist positions at the Fraunhofer Institute IAIS, dividing their time between the two institutions.
