Md Dilshadur Rahman

Graduate Research Assistant at Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI)

I'm a Computer Science PhD student at the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. I work at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institue (SCI) as a Graduate Research Assistant with Dr. Paul Rosen. Currently, we're investigating how people annotate different charts to effectively communicate information. We're also building a peer review dashboard with the aim of improving peer review qualities. My broader research interests include annotations in visualizations, visualization perception, trust in visualizations, and creating visualization tools that help people better understand their data.

Outside of school, I enjoy singing and watching football (soccer) matches. I'm the biggest fan of Real Madrid CF. I can play some traditional Bangladeshi instruments, with over ten years of experience. I consider myself an expert at playing Harmonium. Recently, I am trying to teach myself the Ukulele.

If you want to know more about me, my research, or potential collaboration, or if you're a prospective graduate student with queries about the University of Utah, School of Computing at Utah, SCI Institute, etc., feel free to write me an email. I will be more than happy to chat.
