DCS Masterclass on Data Visualization

November 12, 2019
Bar Beton, Utrecht Central Station
The Netherlands

The Dutch Chemometrics Society (DCS) cordially invites you to a DCS Masterclass on Data Visualization! The Masterclass will feature two renown plenary speakers from the data visualization field: Casper Albers and Sara Sprinkhuizen.

Casper is a professor at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in applied statistics and data visualization. His research focuses on statistical modelling of psychological processes, applied in clinical psychology and environmental psychology and on the interplay between statistics and science communication. He has over 50 peer reviewed papers, has given numerous lectures and workshops and occasionally writes scientific columns for Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. Casper will mainly speak about a theoretical basis for multivariate data visualization (e.g. biplots).

Sara is a freelance data analyst and data visualization expert. After having studied physics, she got intrigued by data visualization because proper data visualization can strongly contribute to get complex messages across. She is currently active as data analyst, data visualizer and consultant for multiple international companies and research institutes, including MIT Media Lab, the online newspaper De Correspondent, the Dutch medical journal Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde, and the Màxima Medical Center in Eindhoven. Sara's talk will mainly focus on perceptional and aesthetic aspects of data visualization.

Two experts in data science and chemometrics will challenge the talks to trigger discussion. Renger Jellema (senior scientist at DSM Biotechnology Center, The Netherlands) and José Camacho (Associate Professor in the Department of Signal Theory, Networking and Communications at University of Granada, Spain) will take up the challenger role.
