Marcos Lage, professor at Universidade Federal Fluminense in Brazil and a senior collaborator on Autark, visited NYU’s Visualization and Data Analytics (VIDA) center from May 22 to 30, 2026, for research meetings and an invited talk.

The visit opened new joint directions in urban visualization and in visualization for large image collections, and continued a collaboration in which students at UFF lead much of Autark’s implementation and evaluation with OSCUR’s PIs.
