The Design, Visualization, & Cognition (DVC) Lab is the research lab of  at . Conducting research in the area of human-computer interaction (HCI), we investigate real-world design practice—how professionals navigate ambiguity, adapt to constraints, and shape outcomes through judgment and reflection. Our work spans domains such as data visualization, user experience, and mission operations, with the goal of improving tools, systems, and practices that support decision-making in dynamic sociotechnical settings.
