Dr. Qi Zhang, associate professor in the School of IT, was awarded the Certificate of Best Presenter for his presentation of “Multi-source Pandemic Data Visualization and Synchronization For Information Extraction” at the 2023 IEEE 13th Annual Computing and Communication Workshop and Conference (CCWC).
Zhang’s presentation addressed the need to provide a means for a side-by-side view of data collected from multiple sources for better understanding. He presented “new algorithms for innovative data visualizations that provide users with intuitive feedback and enable them to see a complete story of where the data is concerned. The information derived from our developed web-based data visualization will aid healthcare professionals and everyday citizens in moving forward as the pandemic progresses.”
The CCWC aims to bring together scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds to emphasize dissemination of ongoing research in the fields of computing and communication, and promote an intense dialogue between academia and industry to bridge the gap between academic research, industry initiatives, and governmental policies.
