Hi, I'm Omkar Chekuri!

I'm a PhD graduate from the University of Oklahoma's School of Computer Science, where I was advised by Dr. Chris Weaver. My core research interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction, information visualization, and machine learning. My work specifically focuses on developing user interactions and data pipelines to support the interactive exploration of hierarchical data structures. More broadly, I'm passionate about advancing the frontiers of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning, particularly in how these technologies can be leveraged to enhance data-driven decision-making and user experience.

I'm also increasingly interested in the applications and design of generative AI systems, including multimodal interfaces that integrate visualization, language, and model-driven insights for more effective human-AI collaboration. My goal is to contribute to innovative solutions that bridge the gap between complex data and intuitive user understanding, making sophisticated information accessible and actionable.
