Lindy Ryan is passionate about telling stories with data.
She specializes in translating raw data into insightful stories
through carefully curated visuals and engaging narrative
frameworks.
Before joining academia, Lindy was the Research Director for
research and advisory firm Radiant Advisors from 2011 through 2016.
In this role Lindy led Radiant’s analyst activities in the
confluence of data discovery, visualization, and visual analytics.
She also developed the methodology for the Data Visualization
Competency Center (DVCC), a framework for helping data-driven
organizations to effectively implement data visualization for
enterprise-wide visual data analysis and communication. Her
tool-agnostic approach has been successfully implemented at a
variety of organizations across several industries and with
multiple visualization technologies, including Tableau, Qlik, and
GoodData. She remains a respected analyst in the data visualization
community and is a regular contributor to several industry
publications as well as a speaker at conferences worldwide.
Lindy began her academic career as an associate faculty member at
City University of Seattle’s School of Applied Leadership where she
taught graduate courses in business leadership from 2012 to 2016.
In early 2016 she joined the ambitious team at the Rutgers
Discovery Informatics Institute and began contributing to
multidisciplinary research focused on designing solutions for the
next generation of supercomputers tasked with enabling cutting-edge
extreme-scale science. Currently, Lindy leads RDI2’s research on
understanding and preventing cyberbullying behaviors in emerging
technology users through advanced computing approaches.
Today, Lindy teaches courses in visual analytics and data
visualization in Rutgers University’s Professional Science Masters
program and in Montclair State University’s Business Analytics
program. She is a recipient of the MSU Professing Excellence Award,
which recognizes professors’ teaching excellence, particularly
those who inspire and motivate students. This honor is especially
meaningful to Lindy because in addition to her passion for
teaching, her research includes a commitment to STEM advocacy, and
she spends time on research related to increasing gender equity in
CS&E and finding new and novel ways to nurture visual data
literacy skills in early STEM learners.
Lindy is an active committee member of the New Jersey Big Data
Alliance, a partnership of New Jersey-based academic institutions
that serves as the State’s legislated consortium on research,
education and outreach in advanced computation and big data. She is
the author of The Visual Imperative: Creating a Culture of Visual
Discovery released by Morgan Kaufmann in 2016, and the owner of
Black Spot Books, a traditional, analytics-driven small-press
publishing house.
