Hi! My name is Eduardo Puerta and I am a computer science Ph.D. student at Northeastern's Data Visualization Lab! in Boston, MA.

I am interested in network visualizations, graph theory, and data literacy and accessibility.

About

As of Fall 2022, I have been a Ph.D. student in Computer Science under the guidance of Cody Dunne. My main research interests revolve around applied graph theory and network visualization, namely in the space of physical network representations and other data metaphors. I am also interested in the intersection of mathematics and art, and the role it plays in data literacy and engagement.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. Lawrence University in 2022 with a B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science. I was advised by Maegan Bos (Mathematics) and Ed Harcourt (Computer Science).

In my spare time I enjoy playing 🥏 ultimate frisbee, 🌎 travelling, 🧶 doing crochet, and 📘 book binding. I am also a soccer fan and support Borussia Dortmund !
