About Us

The Information Interfaces Research Group was active at Georgia Tech from the 1990's until 2025. In our work, we sought ways to help people and organizations understand data via innovative interfaces and applications in the areas of information visualization and visual analytics. Our ultimate goal was to help people solve problems and understand the world better through visual interfaces .

Our research was supported by grants and donations from the National Science Foundation (IIS-1717111, IIS-1320537, IIS-0915788, CCF-0808863, and IIS-0414667), DARPA's XDATA program, Sandia National Lab, the Dept. of Homeland Security's Center of Excellence in Command, Control and Interoperability (VACCINE), the Dept. of Homeland Security's NVAC Program, Microsfot, Adobe, a Google Faculty Research Award, an IBM PhD Fellowship, the Georgia Aquarium, Nokia Corporation, Steelcase Corporation, NCR Corporation, TravelPort Corp, and Haptek Corporation. .

The lab stopped working on new projects in 2025 when its director, John Stasko, retired from the Georgia Tech faculty. We hope to maintain these webpages as long as possible to document our work and make it available to all who are interested.

Our research group was part of the larger Georgia Tech Visualization Lab, one of the top data visualization research organizations in the world.

We also documented our (fun) activities over the years through a collection of photos of lab members and their travels, highlighting our participation at research conferences and meetings, as well as our annual lab party in the spring.
