About the Lab

The Data Experience Lab is Dr. Wesley Willett's research group within the Interactions Lab at the University of Calgary. We are a small team of researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates whose research explores the role of data and visualizations across a wide range of tools, contexts, and environments. The lab includes students from both the university's graduate program in Computer Science (for students with a more traditional computer science background) as well as the graduate Computational Media Design program (for students interested in research at the intersection of computing and design).

We are committed to creating a diverse and open research environment that encourages contributions from students of all backgrounds. Given the longstanding biases around gender, race, and other characteristics in computing, we actively encourage applications from qualified candidates of all backgrounds — especially candidates from historically underrepresented groups.
