Irene Ros is the founding Director of the Bocoup Data Visualization group at Bocoup where she has led visualization projects with partners like Google, New America, The Guardian, The World Economic Forum, Harvard Medical School’s Program in Therapeutic Science, MIT’s Probabilistic Computing group, University of Washington’s Interactive Data Lab and University of Chicago’s Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics. 

She and [her team](http://stage1.bocoup.com/datavis) transform raw data into visual experiences for the Open Web and contribute to the web ecosystem through open tools and educational materials about data visualization. Irene is also the Founder and Program Chair of [OpenVis Conf](http://openvisconf.com), a 2-day single-track conference about data visualization on the Open Web, entering its 5th year. 

Prior to her time at Bocoup, Irene spent 3 years working at IBM Research’s Visual Communication Lab, under the guidance of [Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg](http://hint.fm/about/). Together with the team she helped build [Many Eyes](http://www.bewitched.com/manyeyes.html) - a collaborative data visualization creation and sharing tool and [Many Bills](http://ciir-publications.cs.umass.edu/getpdf.php?id=992) - a visual interface for reading congressional legislation.
