Our rapidly expanding Center includes 70 teaching and research faculty members, and more than 200 graduate students from a wide variety of campus units. Each is a member of one of our affiliated units who has a particular interest in a research area that touches on issues of graphics, visualization or usability. We have recently welcomed several new faculty and a large number of new Master's and PhD students, including several students into our Master of Science Program in Human Computer Interaction.
