Ilir Jusufi

I am Senior Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science and Media Technology at Linnaeus University, Växjö, Sweden.

Teaching

Currently I am responsible for the following courses:

Database Theory - 2DV513 (B.Sc)
Foundations of Computational Media - 4ME302 (M.Sc)
Web and Mobile Development - 4ME305 (M.Sc)

I am giving several modules for the course in Programming for digital humanities - 4ME501 (M.Sc). I serve as program co-manager for the master program in Media Technology.

Research

My research interests are in the field of Information Visualization and Visual Analytics with the focus on large multivariate datasets typically found in life sciences, humanities, IoT contexts, and/or software engineering. My research vision is to combine the strengths of the human visual system and its potential to discern visual patterns with the computational superiority of the machines with the aim of detecting the unexpected in Big Data applications.

I'm part of three of the research groups linked to DISA, which is Linnaeus University's cutting-edge research community, which works with the collection, analysis and reuse of large amounts of data.
