Marc Streit

I am a tenured Full Professor at the Institute of Computer Graphics at Johannes Kepler University Linz, leading the Visual Data Science Lab. I completed my PhD at Graz University of Technology in 2011. During my tenure track at JKU, I was a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at Harvard Medical School in 2012 and served as a Visiting Professor at at the Visual Computing Group at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 2014, supported by a Fulbright scholarship. Between 2012 and 2023, I was a guest lecturer at the Imperial College Business School.

My research focuses on biological data visualization, visual analytics, and explainable AI. Together with my team and collaborators, I develop novel visual analysis tools for drug discovery, manufacturing, and other application domains. I am leading research projects funded by FWF, FFG, and industrial partners. I am a key researcher in the COMET K1-Centre Pro2Future. In 2016, I co-founded the JKU spin-off company datavisyn, where I currently hold the position of Chief Strategy Officer.

I received best paper and honorable mention awards at major conferences, including IEEE VIS and CHI. I was a co-author of the Nature Methods Points of View column. I actively contribute to the scientific community by serving on the organizing and program committee of several scientific events. I was general chair of the IEEE Visualization in Data Science symposium and general chair of BioVis, the Symposium on Biological Data Visualization.
