Cody Dunne is an associate professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.

Dunne works at the intersection of information visualization, network science, and human–computer interaction. He focuses on techniques for making data easier to analyze and share, as well as the application of visualization techniques to real-world problems. He is currently working to improve the readability of network visualizations and to develop the next generation of tools for visually exploring, sharing, and collaborating around data and analysis workflows. Dunne has also delved into the visualization of concepts from medical records, infectious disease spread, academic literature citations, interactions of people and organizations, relationships in archaeological dig sites, news term co-occurrences, thesaurus category relationships, municipal energy use, and computer network traffic flow.

Before joining Khoury College, Dunne was a research scientist at IBM Watson Health, IBM Watson, and IBM Research.
