Eunice Jun Dublin, Ireland - Waternomics

Through a ten-week summer collaboration with Waternomics, a multisite EU-funded research project interested in creating technologies to promote water conservation, I developed the underlying theory in eco-feedback public display visualizations for Waternomics’ future user applications. The primary focus of my project and its deliverables was sustainable user application development and research. Based in Dublin, Ireland, I worked with David Coyle, a human-computer interaction researcher and lecturer at University College Dublin, to design and collect data through an online survey study, which I am working to publish at a computer science conference. I also worked with interaction designers in Galway, Ireland, in order to prototype visualizations that will become references for future Waternomics visualizations. Personally, I gained insight into the different roles of a collaborator and team member in scientific research.
