Visual Data Science
Data visualization is viewed by many disciplines as a modern equivalent of visual communication. It involves the creation and study of the visual representation of data.

Hello !
My name is Ram.
I am a Computer Science masters student in UIC. I am one of those people who thinks in terms of images. I was taught at a very young age how to learn by visualization. I always believe that images/videos are the best source of learning as they convey what can be boring data(or literature) in an interesting and perhaps colourful fashion.
Hence I was interested in drawing, video editing, animations, games and started pursuing the more artistic side of computer science.
While I still was realising my calling for the visual side of computer science I became proficient in mobile application development, algorithms, data bases, Data Mining, game development and design, and Artificial Intelligence. Apart from Visualization I am interested in algorithms and solving problems using data structures. My past projects were in the field of healthcare.
Some of my hobbies include playing chess, theatrics (was the head of drama club during my undergraduation), soccer and reading books. Last but not least I love cooking.
Check out some of my project in my github page here!

Visualization: Possible float routes for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
This animation shows where floating debris from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 could have drifted if experts are correct about where the plane went down, based on a model released by Australian officials on Tuesday. The results of the computer model, which incorporates the effects of wind, waves and ocean currents, show how the debris found on Réunion could have floated from the crash site.
