Colin Ware

Colin Ware is a professor at the University of New Hampshire, cross-appointed between the Departments of Computer Science and Ocean Engineering.[1] Ware is the director of the Data Visualization Research Lab in the university's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping.[2]

Education

Ware attended the University of Toronto from 1975 to 1980 and received his PhD in the psychology of perception.[3] He then went on to attend the University of Waterloo in 1983, eventually receiving his MMath degree in computer science in 1985.[3]

Ware's combined interests in basic and applied research alongside his specialization in advanced data visualization led to his involvement in the applications of visualization to ocean mapping.[2][4]

He has experience with the National Research Council (Canada) as a Research Associate (1980-1983), where he researched human color vision.[5] He also has past experience in both teaching and research as a professor of computer science at the University of New Brunswick from 1985 to 2000.[5]

Books

Ware has written and published two books. The first, published in 2010, is called Visual Thinking for Design.[6] It describes the psychology of how humans think about using graphics displays as tools. The second, called Information Visualization: Perception for Design,[7] was published in 2012 and is now in its fourth edition.

Career

Ware has published over 150 articles in refereed conference proceedings and in scientific and technological journals, most of which relate to information visualization and its uses of motion, texture, color, and 3D displays.[2][8] His publications have ranged from various human-computer interaction journals to articles in ACM Transactions on Graphics.[8][9] He has also published numerous contributions to the Journal of Physiology and Vision Research.[9]

Ware directed the development of NestedVision3DA (a system for visualizing massive networks of information) and created the first version of the Fledermaus visualization system with his graduate students.[8]

In 2010, Colin Ware received the Award for Excellence in Research from the University of New Hampshire.[10]
