Hello! I am a senior research scientist at [Adobe](https://research.adobe.com/person/jane-hoffswell/), where I specialize in visualization, storytelling, and human-computer interaction.

My research threads include data-driven storytelling and natural language insights [[Project Slide Wow](https://youtu.be/0oEUg14rJKE?si=QEkGuqPiI4L7n8to), [VIS 2024](#Aligned), [VIS 2024](#Explanations), [VIS 2022](#PersonalizedVisualization)], exploratory data analysis [[EuroVis 2024](#MobileInteraction), [VL/HCC 2023](#WhatsNext)], responsive visualization [[VIS 2023](#Dupo), [CHI 2022](#Cicero), [CHI 2020](#Responsive) ], visualizations for program understanding [[VISSOFT 2022](#ViSRE), [CHI 2018](#CodeAugmentations), [EuroVis 2016](#VegaDebugging)], the design of interactive, end-user systems [[TVCG 2025](#ProvenanceLens), [CHI 2019](#Tables), [CSCW 2017](#Triggers)], and declarative programming languages [[CHI 2022](#Cicero), [EuroVis 2018](#SetCoLa), [VIS 2015](#ReactiveVega)].

I also enjoy collaborating and working on a variety of different projects, so take a look at [my full publication list](#Publications) to learn more!

I was briefly a visiting lecturer at the UW teaching undergraduate visualization courses (CSE442 , CSE412 [❀](https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse412/21sp/)).
I received my PhD in 2020 from the [Paul G. Allen School](https://www.cs.washington.edu/) at the [University of Washington](https://www.washington.edu/), where I worked with [Jeffrey Heer](http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~jheer/) as part of the [Interactive Data Lab](http://idl.cs.washington.edu/).
As a graduate student, I interned at [Adobe Research](https://research.adobe.com/) twice [[CHI 2019](#Tables), [CHI 2020](#Responsive) ] before joining full time.
I received my Masters from the [University of Washington](https://www.cs.washington.edu/) in 2016 and my Bachelors in Computer Science from [Harvey Mudd College](https://www.hmc.edu/) in 2014. Outside of research, I love travel and photography.
