From Data to Discovery: A One Day Symposium on the Emerging Science of Big Data Visualization

Nearly every scientific and engineering endeavor faces a fundamental challenge to see and extract insights from data. Effective Data Science and Visualization can lead to new discoveries. Together, we at Caltech, NASA JPL, and Art Center represent the same convergence of science, engineering and design that drives new Big Data-powered discovery.  On May 23, industry leaders will visit Pasadena for a series of talks to inspire, unite and challenge our community to re-examine our practices, and our perspectives. Guests include:

• • Fernanda Viégas & Martin Wattenberg
  • Co-leaders, Google Data Visualization Group
• • Jer Thorp
  • Co-founder, The Office for Creative Research
• • Golan Levin
  • Director, Carnegie Mellon Studio for Creative Inquiry
• • Jeff Heer
  • Assistant Professor, Stanford University
• • Eric Rodenbeck
