Geo-Storylines is a collection of visualisation designs that integrate geospatial context into Storyline visualizations, using different strategies for compositing time and space.
About
I’m a Chilean researcher (ISFP) at Inria Saclay, France. I am a member of the ILDA team, which is part of the Laboratoire Interdisplinaire des Sciences du Numérique, LISN (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS & Inria, a lab created by teams from LIMSI and LRI). I have a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Chile under the supervision of Bárbara Poblete.
My main research interests are the analysis and visualization of data, mainly focused on geo-temporal data.
I love teaching and I believe learning should be for anyone. Because of this, I was co-founder of Niñas Pro(gramadoras), an initiative that motivate girls to learn to program to reduce the gender gap in STEAM. We aim to show to our girls that computer science is super fun (:

Latest Projects
My current research is divided in two main areas:
- Visualization of Hypergraphs
- Visualization of geo-temporal data
HyperStorylines: Interactively Untangling Dynamic Hypergraphs
HyperStorylines is a visualization that generalizes Storylines to visualize the evolution of relationships involving multiple types of entities such as, e.g., people, locations and companies.
