I'm Anthony Robinson - welcome to my home on the web. I'm a Research Associate at Penn State. I currently work for the GeoVISTA Center and John A. Dutton e-Education Institute. My research focuses broadly on designing and evaluating geovisualization tools. I've done work in epidemiology, crisis management, and national security domains. My most recent effort involves characterizing how users assemble and collect their analytical results.

To learn more about my work, check out the published papers I've posted in the Portfolio section.

I teach Cartographic Design (Intro and Advanced) courses for the resident Geography program at Penn State, and in the Winter of '09 I began teaching for the online MGIS program for our e-Education Institute.

My VAST 2008 paper on Collaborative Synthesis of Geovisual Analytic Results is available on my portfolio page here.

Pictures from recent trips to Kauai, China, Ghana, Tokyo, and Moscow (incl. my side trip to Chernobyl in the Ukraine) are now up.
