Master project with Kay Roggenbuck.

I am a PhD candidate at the visualization cluster, and my topic concerns visualizations for law enforcement and criminal investigations.

Furthermore, this project is part of the AI4Intelligence project in cooperation with multiple PhD candidates from different universities across the Netherlands, the Dutch police, NFI and several companies, such as Microsoft and SynerScope.

With the increasing digitalization and usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyone's daily life, the amount of data usable for criminal investigates increases rapidly. 

To enable investigators to filter relevant data, explore it, and support hypothesis creation, testing, and presenting, visualizing the data is inevitable and requires a general approach, combining different fields, such as multivariate network visualization, explainable AI, and explainable results for non-technical experts.

My current focus within the project lies in (multivariate) (dynamic) network visualization, as it enables investigators to explore relationships among different entities within the data and to create and test hypotheses. Combining this with the visualization of heterogeneous data, changing network structures over time, and presenting the results to non-technical experts adds different axes of complexity to the project and enables a variety of exciting fields of research.

In the future, this project will also cover the topic of explainable AI for state-of-the-art and novel models to increase their transparency and ultimately gain trust.
