About

Daniel Archambault makes visualisation and visual analytics systems scale to the age of data science. He is an expert in network visualisation and analysis and visual interfaces for making sence of machine learning/data analytics systems. His major contributions have been around the effective visualisation of dynamic networks. He has organised and participated in major conferences and workshops in the area and participates in visualisation research activities at the Alan Turing Institute.

Daniel consistently collaborates with top researchers with in the UK and internationally. Giving approximately 6 invited talks internationally per year, he consistantly works with students and researchers on three continents.

Taught Modules

CS-115 Programming 2

This module is a continuation of the module CS-110 Programming 1. In it, students will continue to enhance their skills in programming, as well as gain a basic understanding of algorithms and data structures.
CSCM27 Human-Centred Visual Analytics

Visual analytics is a human-centred area of computing that studies systems to support exploration and explanation of features in data sets. The course will provide an introduction to visual analytics and supporting necessary concepts in information visualisation. Visual analytics is the combination of visualisation and data analytics, which includes machine learning, to create effective data analysis systems.
CSGD00 Taught Masters Dissertation (Computer Science:Informatique)
