David Saffo is a PhD student studying Computer Science at Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Professor Cody Dunne. David has a BS in Software Engineering form Loyola University Chicago. He works primarily in human computer interaction and data visualization, and he is interested in bringing that skill set into solving interdisciplinary problems.
Working in the realm of human computer interaction and data visualization
My passion is the application of my skills and knowledge to interdisciplinary problems. Human computer interaction and data visualization fit perfectly with this as every field uses and benefits from these disciplines. Everything from the display on your cars dashboard to the human genome is data to be visualized and interacted with.
I would like to create tools that aid experts in any particular field with decision making, allowing to choose the right approach faster and with more confidence in the outcomes.
Everything from the display on your car’s dashboard to the human genome is data to be visualized and interacted with. This gives the field of study an amazingly wide reach. This also gives me the chance to work with many different kinds of fields, gaining that interdisciplinary experience I so enjoy.
Creating useful software or tools with lasting impact is something I want to achieve not just in my research but also in my career. Past Northeastern I want to get into R&D in industry and also explore the startup community of Detroit.
