Research Interests

My name is Hamid Mansoor and I completed a doctorate in Computer Science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. My advisor was Prof. Emmanuel Agu and I was a part of the DARPA funded Warfighter Analytics using Smartphone Health (WASH) project. My research interests are at the intersection of Data Visualization, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing and Visual Representations of Text-based Data. I have researched, designed and implemented several interactive data visualization frameworks that enable analysts to solve various issues encountered while analyzing mobile and ubiquitously gathered human behavior data.

I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at The University of Manitoba . Before this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the VIXI Lab , Univeristy of Victoria, Canada, under the mentorship of Prof. Miguel Nacenta.
