Jeffrey Michael Heer (born 15 June 1979) is an American computer scientist best known for his work on information visualization and interactive data analysis. He is an associate professor of Computer Science & Engineering[1] at the University of Washington, where he directs the UW Interactive Data Lab.[2] He co-founded Trifacta with Joe Hellerstein and Sean Kandel in 2012.
Education
As a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, he developed the Prefuse and Flare[3] visualization toolkits.
Research and career
Before joining the University of Washington, Heer was an assistant professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, from 2009 to 2013. He is also co-founder and Chief Experience Officer of Trifacta.[4] Heer's research focuses on new systems and techniques for data visualization. As a professor at Stanford, he worked with then-Ph.D. student Mike Bostock on the D3.js and Protovis systems. Along with Joe Hellerstein and Sean Kandel, Heer has also developed interactive tools for data transformation (including Data Wrangler[5]), leading to the founding of Trifacta.
Awards and recognition
Heer's research has been recognized by a Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Data-Driven Discovery Investigator Award,[6] an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship,[7] and MIT Technology Review's TR35 list.[8] Heer and his students have won best paper awards at human-computer interaction[9][10] and visualization[11] conferences. His work has also appeared in the popular press.[12][13][14][15][16][17]
