Di Cook is Professor of Business Analytics in the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash. She is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and Ordinary Member of the R Foundation (elected). Her research is primarily in data visualisation, visualising high-dimensional spaces using tours with projection pursuit, and bridging the gap between statistical inference and exploratory data analysis. She has developed visualisations for virtual environments, used eye-trackers for assessing visual perception. The applications include bioinformatics, ecology and sport.
