معرفی
Robert Krueger is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and a member of the Visualization Imaging and Data Analysis Center (VIDA) at NYU. Previously, he held a joint postdoctoral appointment as a Senior Research Scientist and Subgroup Lead at Harvard University's Visual Computing Group (VCG) and Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology (LSP). His research focuses on scalable visualization and visual analytics for spatial and multivariate data, particularly in biomedical and geographical applications like smart cities and cancer tissue analysis.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Computer Science (Dr. rer. nat.), University of Stuttgart, 2017
- M.S. in Computer Science and Media, Stuttgart Media University, 2012
- B.S. in Media and Communication Informatics, Reutlingen University, 2008
Research Interests: Krueger specializes in integrating machine learning with interactive visual interfaces to enable human-in-the-loop analysis of large biomedical and spatial datasets. He designs tools for multiplexed imaging data exploration, spatial biology, and geospatial dynamics. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration to address challenges in smart cities, immuno-oncology, and data standardization (e.g., MITI guidelines).
Organization Committees: He actively contributes to the VIM (Visualization and Image Data Management) monthly meetings and the Spatial Biology Association (SBA), advancing data interoperability and spatial biology applications. His teaching accolades include multiple Harvard Excellence in Teaching Awards.
Grants and Advising: As a subgroup leader since 2021, he manages research collaborations between VCG and LSP. He has supervised 14 student trainees/researchers on projects like CIMPLEX and HTAN. His team develops open-source tools like Minerva and Scope2Screen.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with VIDA at NYU and VCG/Harvard Medical School. He leads visualization efforts in the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), funded under the NCI Cancer Moonshot Initiative.
