Nathan Yau

My name is Nathan Yau, and I'm the one writing for FlowingData. I have a Ph.D. in statistics from UCLA, with a focus in data visualization. I'm most interested in personal data collection, data for non-professionals, and information design.

I want to make data available and useful to those who aren't necessarily data experts; I think visualization plays a major role in this.

When I'm not playing with data, I'm usually cooking, eating, watching basketball, or hanging out with my wife.
