Our DNA

Founded by leading scientists in biological data visualization.

Founded by Marc, Sam, Alex, and Nils—professors and researchers across JKU Linz, the University of Utah, the University of Graz, and Harvard University—datavisyn bridges the gap between academia and industry. While we love research, we created datavisyn to deliver the advanced data integration and custom enterprise solutions that are simply not possible within an academic context.

Research and Publications

As a university spin-off, research is in our DNA.

Our founders and our team have a long track record of developing and publishing cutting-edge visualization methods, and we continue to do research and publish it at datavisyn!  Our basic research work is also often funded by public agencies, which we gratefully acknowledge.
