Steven Braun is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the department of Art + Design. He received his B.A. in chemistry and Asian studies from St. Olaf College and his M.S. in molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale University, with some time spent as a research student (Fulbright Fellow) at Kyoto University (Japan) in between. Prior to joining Art + Design, he served as the Data Analytics and Visualization Specialist in Snell Library at Northeastern for nearly 4 years, where he worked as a consultant, analyst, and data visualization designer with Northeastern students, faculty, and staff. Steven’s interests are very interdisciplinary and include novel data visualization approaches, digital humanities, and the role of visualization in Japan studies scholarship. His visualization work seeks to explore themes such as narrative, language, and human experience.
