Sougata Mukherjea


Sougata Mukherjea finished his PhD from the Graphics, Visualization, and Usability Center of the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1995. His research advisor was Prof Jim Foley. At present, he is working in the C&C Research Lab of NEC.

Research

His research interests include Scientific, Software and Information Visualization. His dissertation was concerned with developing strategies for efficient visualization of the information space of hypermedia systems. He developed a tool called the Navigational View Builder for letting the designer develop effective views of the world-wide-web. Before this, he was involved in developing a visual debugger called Lens . He was also part of the team that developed Glyphmaker .

    Cricket

    I am very interested in Cricket, the greatest game in the world. Here is a picture of my favourite cricketer, Sourav Ganguly, from my home city Calcutta.

    Now here is a picture of two of my other heros, Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar. .

    Finally here is a picture of the Indian captain Azharuddin with the Hero Cup which my country India won in 1993.

    For more information on cricket, you can look at the CricInfo Cricket Database.
