Klaus Eckelt

Hi! I am Klaus. I'm a doctoral researcher and PhD student in the Visual Data Science Lab at Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria.

My research focuses on interactive visualizations in the biomedical field. Together with my colleagues, I design and build data analysis tools to support domain experts. I received my master's and bachelor's degrees at TU Wien, Austria, where I became interested in life sciences and the analysis of biomedical data.

Teaching

In my courses, I thought students how to handle, visualize, and interpret data with Python, JavaScript, and business intelligence software such as Tableau and Microsoft PowerBI.

At Johannes Kepler University Linz, I taught multiple courses in the Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science bachelor's and master's programs: Visual Analytics (2018-2023), Computer Graphics (2018-2022), Information Visualization (2019-2022), and Explainable AI (2020-2023).

At the Imperial College Business School, I was instructor for the Visualisation module of the Business Analytics master's program (2019-2021).
