Ramana is the designer and co-inventor of Hyperbolic Tree and Table Lens, two innovative techniques for effectively interacting with large amounts of information. In a ten year stint at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center [PARC], Ramana was a key member of the team that pioneered the field of information visualization.

Ramana received BS and MS degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in computer science and engineering. He resides in California with his wife and two quickly growing daughters. Acknowledgements: Ramana’s "architecture" would have been left to stock molding and white paint, except for collaborations with several talented people. Jean Orlebeke generously contributed her talent on all aspects of the chapter’s design and execution. Karen Theisen designed most data graphics and many spread elements. Erik Adigard and M.A.D. provided design advise throughout. Steve Kearsley contributed illustrations and Gabriella Rossi provided production assistance. E-mail: rao@inxight.com.
