Modern society demands that people manage, communicate and interact with digital information at an ever-increasing pace. While information is a crucial part of people's everyday lives, many people find today's technologies awkward, stressful to use, and overly intrusive in their lives. The problem is not with the information itself, but rather with its volume and the unwieldy ways currently provided for interacting with digital content. My long range goal is to design, develop and evaluate interactive information visualizations so that they support people's everyday work and social practices as they interact with information. My primary motivation is to promote information comprehension by creating appropriate tools that can help people negotiate the transformation of vast amounts of information into knowledge in people's everyday lives.**My long term objective is to design, develop and evaluate interactive visualizations of information that begin to address people's challenges as part of an information society and to enhance their cognitive and communicative abilities. Visualization can be created to help us see the invisible, to comprehend vast information spaces, to manipulate abstract concepts, to appreciate the beauty of information structure, and to support decision making and collaborative processes. Interactive visualizations are successful when they can help people interpret and understand information, steps which are integral in our processes of developing knowledge. My more immediate goals are to (1) improve our understanding how people naturally use sketches, diagrams and visualizations to support their cognitive processes; (2) to further explore how visualizations can support the many and varied ways that people access and discover information in the daily lives; and (3) to extend the information understanding that visualization is starting to offer in the laboratory and workplace to personal information needs. My research will work towards developing a basis for creating effective interactions that fit seamlessly in our everyday work and social practices, allowing us information manipulations that better support our decision processes and our ability to handle our ever-increasing information spaces.********

现代社会要求人们以越来越快的速度管理、交流和交互数字信息。虽然信息是人们日常生活中至关重要的一部分，但许多人发现当今的技术令人尴尬，使用压力很大，并且过度侵入他们的生活。问题不在于信息本身，而在于其数量和目前与数字内容互动的笨拙方式。我的长期目标是设计，开发和评估交互式信息可视化，以便它们支持人们与信息交互的日常工作和社会实践。我的主要动机是通过创造适当的工具来促进信息理解，这些工具可以帮助人们在日常生活中将大量信息转化为知识。我的长期目标是设计，开发和评估信息的交互式可视化，开始解决人们的挑战，作为信息社会的一部分，并提高他们的认知和沟通能力。可视化可以帮助我们看到看不见的东西，理解巨大的信息空间，操纵抽象概念，欣赏信息结构的美，并支持决策和协作过程。当交互式可视化能够帮助人们解释和理解信息时，它们是成功的，这些步骤是我们发展知识过程中不可或缺的。我更直接的目标是（1）提高我们对人们如何自然地使用草图、图表和可视化来支持他们的认知过程的理解;（2）进一步探索可视化如何支持人们在日常生活中访问和发现信息的多种方式;以及（3）将可视化开始在实验室和工作场所提供的信息理解扩展到个人信息需求。我的研究将致力于为创造有效的互动奠定基础，这些互动无缝地融入我们的日常工作和社会实践，使我们能够更好地支持我们的决策过程和处理不断增加的信息空间的能力。
