Topic: Visualizing and Sonifying Biometrics and Environmental Data

I will be giving a talk about my research-driven projects focusing on visualizing and sonifying biometrics data and environmental data. The projects focus on revealing hidden narratives and interesting information about our society, culture, and environment by using new media technologies and multimodal interaction. It includes fingerprint data sonification, iris data visualization, 3D printed data sculptures using human veins, California drought data visualization, wildfire data visualization using machine learning-based predictive analysis, and more.
