PhD Candidate @ WashU
mbancilhon@wustl.edu
I’m a Computer Science PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis working with Dr. Alvitta Ottley. My thesis research is about investigating the impact of data visualization on reasoning and decision-making under uncertainty. I have a special interest in evaluating how individual differences (e.g. behavioral, cognitive) impact interactions with data. My field of expertise is at the intersection of human-computer interaction, data visualization and human-centered AI. During my PhD I have undertaken research internships at Adobe Research and IBM Research.
Prior to joining WashU, I obtained my B.A. in Computer Science at Smith College with Architecture & Design as a second major.
I will be on the job market starting Fall/ Summer 2024.
