Co-Author Explorer

Elsevier, the world's largest scientific publisher, approached us about building a tool for exploring scientific collaborations The Co-Author Explorer is an interactive node-link diagram of an author's top co-authors (●) and their publications (■). Clicking on an author brings up his or her biographical information and paper abstracts.

This application is integrated in Elsevier's Scopus database, and also lives in the sidebar of full text articles on ScienceDirect.

Mathematical Typesetting

Web apps, computer phones, and music pods are hip, sure, but at the end of the day nothing beats curling up in front of the fire with hardcopy maths. Mmmmm, maths.

UK University Statistics

We built this interactive treemap for an open-brief data visualization competition. All of the data aggregation and processing is done on the client. The visuals are all native HTML and SVG. Flash plugins? No thanks.

Protein Structure

Okay, so there's a soft spot in our hearts for structural biochemistry, and we'll use the topic as an excuse to try out new visualization technologies. The large image at left is a linked-histogram viewer using <canvas> and WebGL, backed by MongoDB. Below are interactive <canvas>-based matrix visualizations of protein structure. Click on any of the thumbnails to pop up these visualizations in a new window.
