Clare Chao

I'm a computational scientist with over a decade of experience in medical imaging data analysis, specializing in X-ray CT and Nuclear Medicine Imaging. Over the years, my career has evolved into a deep focus on data visualization—bridging the gap between complex data and clear & impactful communication.

At UCSF, I fully integrated Python into my research workflow, gaining a strong appreciation for its robust open-source ecosystem. I became particularly drawn to tools that support data analysis, processing, and predictive modeling, which continue to be central to my work.

Currently on sabbatical and exploring a new creative outlet: illustration. This passion has since grown into a unique skill set in data visualization, where I combine scientific precision with design thinking to tell compelling visual stories with data.

I’m known for adapting quickly to new tools and technologies, and I thrive at the intersection of analytical depth and visual clarity. I'm currently exploring opportunities in data analysis and visualization where I can apply this unique blend of technical expertise and creative insight to make data more accessible and actionable.
