Anamaria Crisan, PhD

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. I am also affiliated with the WaterlooHCI lab and am a member of the Waterloo Artificial Intelligence Institute. I conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Data Visualization, and Applied AI/ML.

My areas of focus include:

• Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): Developing responsible, transparent, and trustworthy AI/ML systems guided by and aligned with human intents
• Interactive Visualization Systems: Designing visualization systems that support data-driven decision-making, from insight discovery to action
• Data Science in Healthcare, Public Health, and Biomedicine: Leveraging data science and visualization to improve outcomes in healthcare and public health

I run the Insight Lab at the University of Waterloo. If you want to work with us, please take a careful look through the prospective student information.
