Biographical details
Professor Seok Hong is developing new, scalable algorithms to address information visualisation of massive complex networks. "These algorithms will enable security analysts to detect fraud, biologists to understand protein-protein interaction networks and give engineers new ways of understanding large software systems. My students learn the basic techniques and fundamental algorithms to create good visualisations of abstract information."
Awards and honours
- 2006 CORE Chris Wallace Award for Outstanding Research Contribution in the field of Computer Science (for my research contribution in Theory and Practice of Graph Drawing): The prize was awarded to an academic for post-PhD research undertaken within a university or research institution in Australia or New Zealand in the calendar years 2002-2004. The research should include a notable breakthrough or a contribution of particular significance.
