« Si bien qu'ayant maintenant laissé s'écouler la moitié de mon existence sans me rendre maître d'aucune technique, j'ai voulu, de toutes mes fautes, tirer un ouvrage en guise d'avertissement à l'universalité des humains. » - Le Rêve dans le pavillon rouge, vol. I, Récit I, p. 4

Pierre Vanhulst

I'm a doctoral researcher in Data Visualization and a Frontend developer currently living in Switzerland.

I tend to keep a low profile in the development world rather than sharing my code publicly. However, feel free to reach out if you need help with web technologies, especially the Vue band (Vue + Nuxt + Vuetify), Svelte and its children (Svelte + SvelteKit), as well as DataViz libraries, such as D3, Vega and Vega-lite, Observable Plots or AntV G.

From an academical point of view, my research focuses on collaborative analysis of data visualizations. Think of use cases like data journalism: in some cases, hundreds of analysts work on more than 1'000'000 documents filled with connections between entities. They have to communicate their insights to their colleague in real time and keep track of their reasoning in the most efficient way. What techniques can we use to help them in their task? This is my main research question. For more details, see my research project.

In real life (that is, not during working time), I'm a regular geek fond of semi-historical roleplaying games, video games, and visual arts. You can learn more about this in my blog, Les Archives d'Anubis (French).
