Sandra Bae leans towards things at the intersection of computation and design. She likes to work on projects as a developer and designer with a focus on information visualization. She is interested in how interactive visualizations can help break down complex topics and promote creativity, storytelling and insight. Broadly speaking, she is interested in projects that promote the interplay of human, machine and data. Sandra is co-advised by Danielle Szafir and Ellen Do, and she is a member of both the VisuaLab and ACME Lab. She holds a BA in human-computer interactions and an MS in computer science, both from University of California, Davis.
