Melanie Tory is director of data visualization research at the Roux Institute and professor of the practice at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. Her research centers on data visualization within applied and academic research, particularly within engineering, medicine, and life sciences.
Before joining Northeastern in 2021, Tory was an associate professor at the University of Victoria, where she taught human–computer interaction (HCI), visualization, Java, and object-oriented analysis and design. While there, she led the Visual Interaction Design research group, a collection of graduate and postdoctoral students who conducted and published visualization and HCI research. After that, Tory served in several positions at Tableau Research, including a research role in which she researched visualization and HCI, studied users’ data analysis needs, and designed and evaluated prototypes to explore novel visualization approaches and interactions.
Within Khoury College, Tory is affiliated with the Data Visualization group and the Northeastern University Visualization Consortium. In wider academia, she is part of the IEEE VIS Steering Committee and has published at IEEE VIS, IEEE TVCG, IEEE CG&A, and ACM CHI.
