Emma Vidal

Hello! My name is Emma and I’m a fourth year Math of Computation and Statistics and Data Science double major at UCLA. I found the UNESCO World heritage site interesting because it allows me to apply my technical skills to a humanistic project. Sharing the project manager and data visualization roles, I coordinated our team’s workflow throughout the quarter, contributing to planning and execution throughout, while also creating strong visualizations that made inequities and global trends more interpretable. This experience strengthened my ability to translate quantitative analysis into meaningful narratives and reinforced my interest in using data to better understand complex social systems.

Lawrence Dzhandzhugazov

Hi, my name is Lawrence and I am a 3rd year Statistics & Data Science and Central & East European Studies Double-major at UCLA. The UNESCO World Heritage list was always interesting for me, combining facets of both of my majors, data analysis and international significance. As project manager/data visualizer, I was responsible for creating many of the data visualizations on the website and ensuring overall project quality. For our data visualizations, I used a mix of Python libraries, Tableau, and software learned in our DGT HUM 101 class. I’m interested in continuing my journey in interpreting data after my undergraduate studies, in graduate school and for a future career.
