The giCentre wrapped up a successful week at IEEE VIS 2025 in Vienna, with a strong and inspiring presence across papers, posters, and presentations. Our team came back energised by a week of exciting research, discussions, and community connections.

Congratulations to Amir, whose paper “What do LLMs prioritize when adapting visualizations to user personas?” received Best Paper honours at the Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare!

We were also thrilled to see several giCentre researchers share their latest work:

Maeve presented “Capturing Visualization Design Rationale.”
Natalia presented “Human in the Loop: Visual Analytics for Building Models Recognizing Behavioral Patterns in Time Series.”
Narges presented “CLAIMATE: AI-enabled Climate Change Communication through Personalized and Localized Narrative Visualization.”

Jason and Jo co-authored two additional papers:

“Reframing Pattern: A Comprehensive Approach to a Composite Visual Variable.”
“Constraint-Based Break Points for Responsive Visualization Design and Development.”

We also showcased two posters led by Radu and Dany, rounding out a week full of ideas and inspiration.

Beyond the sessions, the team enjoyed the conference reception at Vienna’s stunning Natural History Museum, and had plenty of fun connecting with the VIS community at parties and the VIS Rock concert.

We’re proud of everyone’s contributions and can’t wait to build on this momentum for next year.
