Frank van Ham,
IBM Visual Communication Lab, Cambridge

Frank van Ham presented IBM's viewpoint on visualization. Based on the hypothesis that visualizations become more powerful when multiple people can look at them they created the experimental "Many Eyes" public website.

IBM's Visual Communication Lab investigates how visualization can spur communication and social interaction, and how both of these two activities can yield new insight into data. Frank van Ham joined the VCL in February of 2006 as a post-doctoral researcher.

He holds an MS in Computer Science and a PhD in Information Visualization, both from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
