About
I am an Associate Professor in Visualization at the Department of Computational Science and Technology (CST) at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at KTH. I am also the national technical manager and local node coordinator of the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) National Research Infrastructure in Visualization InfraVis. I am a Fulbright Scholar from Ecuador and a graduate of Georgia Tech (PhD Computer Science, 2009), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Master Computer Science, 2001), and Universidad San Francisco de Quito (BS Industrial Engineering and BS Construction Engineering , 1996). I am also a technical co-founder of BrailleTouch , a smartphone keyboard for blind users, and Anymaker, a tablet application for sketching in 3D. Dr. Romero’s research centers in Human-Computer Interaction, Visualization, and Ubiquitous and Accessible Computing.
Project for InfraVis
-
Dynamically Visualizing high-dimensional datasets using parallel coordinates plot
Displaying many dimensions of a dataset simultaneously presents its set of challenges. One way of going about dealing with these challenges is to present each data point, each “row” if you will, as a line across all axes parallel to each other. This project aim to provide a solution for any such dataset.

Producing and Rendering a 3D Mesh of Cassida Viridis – Green Tortoise Beetle
This project focused on developing a user-friendly and accessible pipeline for producing 3D models or ‘meshes’ from volumetric datasets, specifically for this case, in the domain of biology.

Visualizing Buzz Pollination
This project aims to showcase the current theory for the dynamics of pollen grains inside the anthers of certain flowers, when bumblebees interact with them. This phenomenon is called ‘Buzz Pollination’.
