Adam Perer · Carnegie Mellon

I characterize my research as Human-Centered Data Science where I combine
techniques from statistics, machine learning, and interactive data visualization
to empower data scientists throughout their analytical workflow.

My current research focuses around several themes:

1. Designing tools for Interactive and Visual Data Science
2. Providing insights with Interpretable Machine Learning
3. Innovating data science techniques for Data-Driven Healthcare



I co-lead the Data Interaction Group, whose mission is to empower everyone to
analyze and communicate data with interactive systems.

Adam Perer is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, where he is
a member of the Human-Computer Interaction Institute and he co-leads the Data
Interaction Group. His research integrates data visualization and machine
learning techniques to create visual interactive systems to help users make
sense out of big data. Lately, his research focuses on human-centered data
science and extracting insights from clinical data to support data-driven
medicine. This work has been published at premier venues in visualization,
human-computer interaction, and medical informatics. He was previously a
Research Scientist at IBM Research. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from
the University of Maryland, College Park.
