Elmira Zohrevandi

Assistant Professor

Assistant professor in information visualization with focus on design and evaluation of visual analytics interfaces to strengthen human-automation collaboration.

Presentation

My research explores how visualization and artificial intelligence can help people understand complex situations and make better decisions in safety-critical environments. A particular focus is on transportation systems where humans and automation need to interact and coordinate effectively.

My research lies at the intersection of cognitive science, transportation systems engineering, artificial intelligence, and visualization design. I develop visual analytics interfaces that support human reasoning and real-time decision-making to enhance safety.听My research particularly focuses on mixed-autonomy situations where automation and humans must coordinate tasks and collaborate effectively.

As for the design methodology, I try to transform domain constraints into visual representations that help people understand situations, anticipate consequences, and analyse what-if scenarios.听

My expertise includes visual encoding and interactive prototype design, simulation development, and quantitative and qualitative evaluation through human-in-the-loop experiments.听

Within AI, my work focuses on making explanations of machine-learning models responsive to the user鈥檚 task and context aiming to support them in making decisions more aligned with the operational goals of the system they control.
