Stephen North manages Information Visualization Research. He is interested in software for displaying and interactively exploring abstract graphs (networks) and in cartograms and displays of dense point sets on maps. He received a B.Sc. from Montclair State College in 1980 and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1986.
