معرفی
Chat Wacharamanotham is an external lecturer and researcher at Swansea University's Computational Foundry, having joined from the University of Zurich (UZH) in July 2022. Prior to UZH, he was affiliated with RWTH Aachen University in Germany. His work bridges interactive technologies and scientific decision-making, particularly in the context of statistics.
His research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Interactive Statistics, and Scientific Decision-Making. He investigates how interactive tools can support scientists in planning experiments and interpreting statistical reports, using methodologies such as Human-Centered Design, Contextual Inquiry, and lab experiments with eye- and motion-tracking. His work emphasizes transparency, usability, and cognitive support in data analysis workflows.
The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on interactive statistical tools, experimental design support, and gaze-based analysis. Projects like Argus, Touchstone2, and Statsplorer demonstrate a trajectory toward building interactive systems that guide users through complex statistical reasoning. The research integrates visualization, user interface design, and empirical evaluation, primarily within the HCI domain.
While no scientific awards are listed in the provided text, his contributions to the field are evident through his active publication record in premier venues like CHI and IEEE TVCG.
Chat Wacharamanotham is involved in teaching, including a seminar on Experiments in Human-Computer Interaction for Master's students. Although he is no longer available for thesis supervision, he continues to contribute to academic instruction at UZH. His research is conducted within a collaborative lab environment, as evidenced by co-authored works with teams from various institutions.
