Khairi Reda
Associate Professor
Department of Computer Science
University of Illinois Chicago

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), and a member of the Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL). My research explores how visual data interfaces can be used to foster scientific discovery, engagement, and ultimately positive social change. My work employs a variety of methods, weaving together techniques from human-computer interaction, machine learning, and design thinking to investigate new approaches for visualizing and interacting with data. Prior to joining UIC, I was an associate professor at Indiana University, Indianapolis.

My research has been recognized through Best Paper and Honorable Mention awards at premier venues in graphics, visualization, and HCI. My work has also funded by grants from the NSF, NIH, and DOE national labs, including an NSF CAREER award. I am also a recipient of the Indiana University Research Trailblazer award.
