This year, the traditional winter meeting of visualization researchers in Austria was continued by Silvia, Velitchko, Ignacio, Natkamon, Sandhya, Fatih, and Raphael at the Wintergraph conference in Kaprun. Alongside discussions on current and future research, the meeting featured skiing, ski touring, and a bit of relaxation at the hotel spa. As always, the day’s activities sparked lively conversations over dinner—on both the slopes and new research ideas.
We are happy to welcome Raphael Buchmüller as a new colleague, who recently joined us from the Data Analysis and Visualization Group of Daniel Keim at the University of Konstanz.
Raphael’s research focuses on interactive visualization and explainable AI for language models, with additional interests in high-dimensional data projection, network analysis, and human–ML interaction
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.
