Yvonne Jansen

Yvonne Jansen is a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) specializing in human-computer interaction and information visualization. Her core contribution lies in advancing "data physicalization," exploring how physical entities and contextual visualizations can help non-expert users better understand and interact with complex data. Jansen's research focuses on physical interaction, digital fabrication, and the embedded representation of data in physical environments. She has been awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal for her outstanding work in the field of data visualization, with her research having significant applications in public topics such as climate change and energy consumption to support interpretation and decision-making.
