Summary
Huyen Nguyen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School’s HIDIVE Lab who builds visualization systems that help scientists explore and interpret complex genomics and nucleomics data. With a PhD in Computer Science from Texas Tech University and nine years of experience, she combines expertise in interactive time-series visualization with infrastructure for visualization retrieval and formal frameworks for comparing visualization similarity. Her work bridges visual analytics, information retrieval, and biomedical informatics to support sense-making and decision-making in the lab. She has a strong track record of applied research—developing web-based D3.js visualizations, collaborating with domain experts across soil science to political science, and scaling text-visualization prototypes into usable tools. Based in Boston, she brings both pedagogical experience as a teaching assistant and practical data-science skills from earlier machine learning and big-data internships. Notably, her research emphasis on representations for visualization retrieval reflects a rare blend of theoretical rigor and production-minded system building.
