Portrait of Mohammad Imrul Jubair

My name is Jubair.

I am a Computer Science PhD Student at the University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Prof. Tom Yeh. Previously, I completed my MSc in Computer Science at the University of Calgary, where I worked in the Visualization and Graphics Group.

My research lies at the intersection of AI, Visualization, and HCI. I build tools that make AI easier for people to see, understand, and use.
