athalie is a researcher at Microsoft Research since december 2008. She is a team member of the neXus research group led by Kori Inkpen Quinn. Her interests lie in the visual exploration of graphs and networks, visualization of groups, interactive graph navigation techniques and evaluation methods for information visualization.

New exciting projects she is involved in at MSR include the visualization of heterogeneous networks (multiple types of nodes and edges), the visualization of networks evolving over time, and taking advantage of natural user interactions (sketch, natural language) to create and interact with visualizations.

Her life changed in january 2011 as she welcomed a little Emma into her family.
