Brian Keith was a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science. He was advised by Chris North.   Keith’s research focus is online information narratives, in particular, how to represent, extract, and visualize them. He is also interested in analyzing how misinformation spreads in these narratives.

Having earned two bachelor of science degrees, one in mathematics and one in engineering, and a master’s degree in informatics, all from UniversidadCatólica del Norte, Chile, Brian Keith was looking for a flexible Ph.D. program. The Virginia Tech Department of Computer Science provided that flexibility and led him to the Sanghani Center where interdisciplinary data […]

According to Yali Bian, the Sanghani Center’s proclivity for encouraging interdisciplinary research is an added benefit while working on his dissertation topic, “Interactive Deep Learning for Semantic Interaction.” It encompasses several different research areas like human computer interaction, deep learning, visual analytics, and explainable AI.  Bian is exploring ways to provide user-friendly interactive visualization systems […]

When Bipasha Banerjee was looking for a Ph.D. program she had one major criteria: it had to give the highest importance to research. With her continuing passion for knowing more, she wanted to delve deeper into open questions and learn how to solve them. “The quality of research in computer science at Virginia Tech is […]
