Introduction
My research focused on combining proven and well-established visualization techniques, so-called “Visualization Hybridizations”, using spatialization cues. Their aim was to maximize the benefits of individual techniques while simultaneously eliminating potential drawbacks. Using implicit visual encodings, such as spatial perception, this resulted in novel visualizations and techniques that were superior to their predecessors.

Scatter plots are a powerful and well‐established technique for visualizing the relationships between two variables as a collection of discrete points. However, especially when dealing with large and dense data, scatter plots often exhibit problems such as overplotting, making the data interpretation arduous. Density plots are able to overcome thes...
Line charts are an effective and widely used technique for visualizing series of ordered two‐dimensional data points. The relationship between consecutive points is indicated by connecting line segments, revealing potential trends or clusters in the underlying data. However, when dealing with an increasing number of lines, the render order substant...
Analyzing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is a key aspect to understand protein dynamics and function. With increasing computational power, it is now possible to generate very long and complex simulations, which are cumbersome to explore using traditional 3D animations of protein movements. Guided by requirements derived from multiple focus gro...
Accessibility in visualization is an important yet challenging topic. Sonification, in particular, is a valuable yet underutilized technique that can enhance accessibility for people with low vision. However, the lower bandwidth of the auditory channel makes it difficult to fully convey dense visualizations. For this reason, interactivity is key in...

Visualization as a tool for visual processing of any underlying data has proven to be an accepted and legitimate part of the scientific reasoning process. Many different techniques help gaining new insights from captured phenomena, support the development or evaluation of hypotheses about collected data, reveal potential misconceptions or false ass...
Aggregation through binning is a commonly used technique for visualizing large, dense, and overplotted two-dimensional data sets. However, aggregation can hide nuanced data-distribution features and complicates the display of multiple data-dependent variables, since color mapping is the primary means of encoding. In this paper, we present novel tec...
