António Cruz

António Cruz is a PhD student at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra enrolled in the Doctoral Program for Information Science and Technology. His interests center around graphic design and programming applied to Information Visualization, in particular the development of dynamic data visualization methods and tools.

His early visualization work was later published in IEEE CG&A, and during his Master's he developed an visualization tool for genetic algorithms, which was then published at GECCO. Currently he is developing interactive visualization models directed at exploring large and complex datasets within the field of Computational Biology, including gene expression time-series, biological pathways, and protein-protein interaction networks.
