Project Title

Creating Visual Data for the Web

The goal of my project was to design and build an interactive visualization program about the carbonation process in concrete. The primary focuses of the program were to show the uneven front of carbonation, the exponential relationship between time and concrete cover thickness, and uncertainty in time projections with known formulas. I primarily contributed to the design of the program and a website, which were built in conjunction with my mentors. Through this project, I gained valuable skills in using code libraries to develop data visualizations that are user friendly and clear. As a result, I have found myself moving toward working with data and designing visualizations as part of my future academic studies.
