Frank van Ham

Frank van Ham joined the Visual Communication Lab in February of 2006. Frank holds an MS in Computer Science and a PhD in Information Visualization, both from the Eindhoven University of Technology. His PhD research focused on techniques for the interactive visualization of large graphs. Frank has created a number of diverse visualizations that provide insight into large graphs (with more than 50,000 nodes) from diverse application areas, including social networks, software systems and finite automata. He also co-created the sequoiaview disk browser which enables a user to examine their harddisk usage at a glance.

Frank's research interests include large scale information visualization, graph visualization and language processing. In his free time he enjoys playing guitar, online gaming, diving, skiing and rock climbing. Being Dutch he doesn't get around to the latter two much in his homecountry, unfortunately.
