Hi, I'm Noëlle

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at WPI. I work in the VIEW Lab, advised by Prof. Lane Harrison. My research interests intersect between data visualization design and evaluation, Human-Computer Interaction, natural language, and cultures.

Expertise
  • Visualization and UI design ReactJS, Javascript, D3.js
  • Experiment design Statistical inference, crowdsourcing, mixed method
  • Software Design and Analysis

Prior to WPI, I was a research associate at the University of Passau, Germany, working on cloud computing security, and data visualization for cybersecurity. I hold a national degree in telecommunication engineering from the Higher-School of Communication of Tunis, Tunisia.

I am passionate about promoting diversity in computer science and engaging in activities to teach underrepresented groups, especially about data, data visualization, and cybersecurity.
