Alice Thudt

Alice is a PhD student in Computational Media Design under the supervision of Dr. Sheelagh Carpendale. She is interested in how visualization can transform personal data collections into evocative mementos. Her research aims to understand how people construct meaning with personal digital data collections and how a symbiosis of digital and physical visualization can be used to support emotional resonance with digital artifacts and archives.
