ID PhD Research and Travel Fund - EuroVis 2026

Tilcia Woodville-Price, a PhD student from the School of Computer Science (and also one of our Associate Fellow's and former Health Data Science MSc student) presented at the EuroVis 2026: Eurographics Conference on Visualisation!

Tilcia spoke of the opportunity to attend noting "The generous award provided by the Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies allowed me to cover transportation costs plus a one-year student membership to Eurographics to present a poster at this year’s EuroVis conference, held in Nottingham in June 2026. In our rapidly growing data driven-driven landscape, information visualisation seeks to translate data into visuals which spark curiosity, provide insight and seek to tackle complex problems across domains. EuroVis Conference on Visualisation is one of the region’s most established venues for visualisation researchers to showcase their work.

I presented on the third day of the conference proceedings during the poster session and engaged with attendees who shared a passion for information visualisation across several domains. I presented the results from a study conducted during my first year, which focused on communicating numerical uncertainty to non-expert audiences. In addition, I was able to attend presentations which spanned topics from human perception to uncertainty visualisation, to using physical objects to help communities engage with their personal data and many topics in between. While few of the works in the conference covered medical topics, my presentation highlighted the importance of making healthcare data more transparent and understandable to a diverse audience.

In addition to having the opportunity of presenting my research, attending this conference was a unique opportunity to experience and learn about the latest innovations in visualisation research. It also gave me a fresh perspective on what challenges visualisation researchers are currently facing, how they approach unique problems, what and methodologies they use to reach new solutions.

Many thanks to the Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies for helping to make my attendance possible. I would also like to thank my supervisors, Areti Manataki and Peter Donnelly for their continued support in this ongoing research project."
