"PhD on Multi-Faceted Visual Process Analytics"

Job Summary

This project aims to develop Visual Analytics techniques for event sequence exploration and analysis, focusing on the synergy between Visualization and Process Mining to transform the analysis and visualization of complex processes.

The research involves extracting insights from event logs to optimize business processes, incorporating dimensions like time, spatial distribution, and resource relationships, while addressing the limitations of traditional process mining by integrating visual analytics for better interpretation and communication.

Responsibilities

Research and develop Visual Analytics techniques for multi-faceted process data, explore synergies between visualization and process mining, create interactive tools for data exploration, and contribute to a unified framework for analyzing complex processes.
