Do you like VIS/HCI/programming interfaces? Do you care about critical visualization? Or perhaps building dynamic data interfaces? Perhaps some combo therein?

If so! I'm hiring for Ph.D. student to work with me at UBC starting Fall 2027! You should apply!

"In my role at UBC, I have been privy to governmental discussions on the benefits and risks of AI – and I remain skeptical that we really need more data centres," says UBC Computer Science Professor Raymond Ng in a new Op-Ed. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: New data centres need to be built for the right reasons
Rather than profits, construction of these problematic centres should be regulated and approved based on their public benefit
