Education and career

After high school in Sens, Riche studied computer science at Paris-Sud University, earning a bachelor's degree in 2001. Next, she went to the Institut national des sciences appliquées, earning an engineering diploma and master's degree in computer science in 2004, [3] as one of three women in a class of 300 students. [1] She completed a Ph.D. in 2008, jointly through Paris-Sud University and the University of Sydney. Her dissertation, Exploring large social networks with matrix-based representations, was co-advised by Jean-Daniel Fekete and Peter Eades. [2] [4] [5]

She joined Microsoft Research in 2008 as a postdoctoral researcher in a project in Orsay, France, [3] later moving to Microsoft's Seattle research center. [2] [1]

Recognition

Riche was named to the IEEE Visualization Academy in 2022. [6]

NodeXL is a network analysis and visualization software package for Microsoft Excel 2007/2010/2013/2016. The package is similar to other network visualization tools such as Pajek, UCINet, and Gephi. It is widely applied in ring, mapping of vertex and edge, and customizable visual attributes and tags. NodeXL enables researchers to undertake social network analysis work metrics such as centrality, degree, and clustering, as well as monitor relational data and describe the overall relational network structure. When applied to Twitter data analysis, it showed the total network of all users participating in public discussion and its internal structure through data mining. It allows social Network analysis (SNA) to emphasize the relationships rather than the isolated individuals or organizations, allowing interested parties to investigate the two-way dialogue between organizations and the public. SNA also provides a flexible measurement system and parameter selection to confirm the influential nodes in the network, such as in-degree and out-degree centrality. The software contains network visualization, social network analysis features, access to social media network data importers, advanced network metrics, and automation.
