Adam Coscia
Bio
Adam Coscia is a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at Stevens Institute of Technology and member of the Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI). He received his Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing from the Georgia Institute of Technology and holds a B.S. in Physics from Stevens. His research helps people make sense of complex data through the design of interactive systems and visualizations. He has designed and deployed his tools for intelligence analysis, robotics, healthcare, and education, in collaboration with researchers, analysts, educators, and scientists at the NSF AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education, National Security Agency, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Adobe Research, the NC State Laboratory for Analytic Sciences, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. His work appears at premier HCI and visualization venues, including ACM CHI, ACM UIST, ACM IUI, IEEE VIS, and IEEE TVCG, and has received a best paper award and three best poster awards. He was also a finalist for the Foley Scholars Award and a recipient of Georgia Tech's President's Fellowship. He serves on the Organizing and Program Committees for both IEEE VIS and PacificVis.
