Cook County has high rate of vaccination across one of the largest populations in the country. But now that vaccine uptake is beginning to stagnate, what can Cook County do to close the gap? We used unsupervised learning to cluster Cook with 480 counties across the US, then used Tableau...
My submission seeks to describe the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on civilians using recent data from the United Nations. However, my work acknowledges the fallibility and lack of granularity of data collected during armed conflict, as well as the tendency of quantification to dehumanize those it describes....
This dataset contains measures of the representation of women in European National Parliaments. I chose to highlight the gap between the current levels of representation and a target of 50% equal representation. The horizontal lollipop bars are meant to allude to starting points and a destination. A rule of data...
This is a visualization of an event reconstructed in CMS HGCal. This event is consist of 10 pions with a transverse momentum of 35 GeV. The reconstruction algorithm groups all valid energy deposits (hits) into clusters, each incoming particle having one or a few corresponding clusters, so that the energy...
Three-dimensional imaging techniques have been widely used in both industry and academia. Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors offer a promising method of 3D imaging due to compact size and low complexity. However, state-of-the-art ToF sensors only have depth resolutions of centimeters due to limitations in the modulation frequencies that can be used....
Portrait of the Galaxy is a snapshot from a 3d rendering of a galaxy that displays the complex structure of the gas component of the simulation. This gas component is difficult to observe in real telescopes but with visualizations and simulations like these we can begin to understand how to...
Mixing due to cutting-and-shuffling is studied at a fundamental level using 2D mappings known as Piecewise Isometries (PWI) which can create beautiful mixing patterns. The PWI studied here splits a hemispherical shell (HS) into four curved triangular pieces that are rearranged to make a shuffled HS. Applying the PWI repeatedly...
This visualization shows two-photon imaging of GCamp6f in hippocampal pyramidal neurons as a mouse navigates a virtual reality maze. These techniques give us an indirect measure of activity in neurons or small compartments of neurons in an awake, behaving animal. The hippocampus has been well characterized as playing an essential...
Our research group is currently working to develop the first cross-culturally validated household water insecurity scale. In order to do this, we have partnered with numerous collaborators to implement the survey in diverse ecological settings. As part of the survey, participants are asked to recall how long it takes to...
