S6E6 [REPOST]: Joe Insley Transforms Big Data into Stunning Images

While we take a short summer break, we're posting one of our favorite past episodes and a great follow-up to our last episode with Amanda Randles of Duke University. In 2023, we talked with Joe Insley of Argonne Leadership Computing Facility and Northern Illinois University about data visualization, from the practical process of helping researchers understand their results to showstopping images and animations that make the work accessible to broad audiences. Joe discusses his career path, how he and his team approach visualization projects, his work with students and his advice for improving scientific data visualization.

You'll meet:

• Joe Insley is team lead for visualization and data analysis at Argonne Leadership Computing Facility and associate professor in the School of Art and Design at Northern Illinois University. Joe got his start in scientific visualization creating interactive data explorations for the CAVE (cave automatic virtual environment).
