New Team Members Join the KAVis Project (and CVAST!)

We’re excited to welcome two new members to the KAVis project and to the CVAST group at TU Wien!

Fatih Öztank is starting a PhD on visual interactive segmentation of multivariate spatial time series with a focus on uncertainty and data quality challenges.

New Publication: Formalizing User Contributions through Persistent Interaction

We’re excited to share a new publication, which explores how Visual Analytics (VA) can better incorporate user-generated artefacts—such as annotations, parameter settings, spatial arrangements, and other interactive constructs—as valuable carriers of insight.

Traditional VA systems often neglect these artefacts, despite their critical role in capturing users’ contextual understanding and subjective judgments.

"Persistent interaction: A conceptualization of user-generated artefacts in Visual Analytics"

Highlights from EuroVis 2025

Our team had a strong presence at EuroVis 2025, contributing across multiple formats and receiving notable recognition.

Michaela's Successful PhD Proficiency Evaluation

We are pleased to share that Michaela Tuscher has successfully completed her PhD proficiency evaluation.

Her topic is "Relationship Analysis in Cultural Heritage Data" and this represents a key milestone on the path toward the doctoral defense.

The evaluation was conducted by a committee consisting of:

Silvia Miksch (supervisor)

Welcome to the Team Natkamon!
