Greg McInerny is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM), University of Warwick. His research focuses on Data/Information Visualization, bridging disciplines like ecology, computer science, and the humanities. He previously worked at the University of Oxford (2012–2015) and Microsoft Research Cambridge (2008–2012).
Education: PhD in Ecology and Evolution (University of Leeds), MSc Ecology (UEA), with dissertation research at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Research Interests: Visualization as a method, design tools (e.g., R packages vocale and baselines), critical studies of visualization, and real-world applications. He explores interdisciplinary tensions in visualization scholarship and practice. Current projects include DECIDE (NERC-funded biodiversity citizen science), WAYS (Alan Turing Institute), and BackFillz (MCMC diagnostics).
- Awards: Turing Fellow (2024), Member of Natural England Scientific Advisory Committee (NESAC).
- Teaching: Visualisation Foundations (IM942), Advanced Visualisation Design Labs (IM946), and Final Project supervision (IM945).
Software Contributions: Developed R packages for visualization (vocale, baselines) and species distribution modelling (zoon). Active in open-source communities and research software engineering.
Labs/Teams: Leads visualization research at CIM, collaborates with CEH, Microsoft Research, and the Alan Turing Institute.
