Fred Hohman
Research Scientist (HCI + ML)
I design and develop interactive interfaces to help people understand machine learning models and data-driven systems. Besides building tools, I also create data visualizations and write interactive articles to simply communicate complex ideas.
I have collaborated with researchers, designers, developers, and artists while working at Apple, Microsoft Research, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, and Pacific Northwest National Lab.
