In addition to her faculty appointments, Börner serves as a Research Affiliate of the Biocomplexity Institute, a Fellow of the Center for Research on Learning and Technology, and a Member of the Advanced Visualization Laboratory. In 2012, Börner was named an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow. In 2015, she was appointed to a two-year term as member of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Data Advisory Council.
Börner is the Founding Director of the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center, an organization dedicated to the study, development, and promotion of tools and services for the analysis and visualization of large-scale networks, particularly in the areas of biomedical, social, and behavioral science, physics, and technology. She is also the curator of the international Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit, a collection of science maps and macroscope tools that seeks to educate the general public about science mapping and empower individuals to create their own data visualizations.

Education and Early Career
Börner holds an MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Technology in Leipzig and earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Kaiserslautern in 1997. After one year as a Postdoc at the University of Bielefeld, Börner joined the Faculty of Computer Science at Indiana University, Bloomington in 1998 and later took up primary residence on the Faculty of Information and Library Science. In 2009, she was named Victor H. Yngve Professor in the School of Library and Information Science (now the School of Informatics and Computing).
Atlas Series
Börner is widely known for her Atlas books. The first, Atlas of Science: Visualizing What We Know (2010) explains the purposes and practices of science mapping, providing readers with many illustrations of the power of maps to navigate, manage, and utilize knowledge spaces The Atlas of Science won the 2011 Best Information Science Book award from the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) and reviews in major magazines with one reviewer writing that "Börner's magnificent book offers provocative new maps of science that will inspire fresh thinking." The second book in the series, Atlas of Knowledge: Anyone Can Map (2015), introduces a theoretical visualization framework meant to guide readers through user and task analysis; data preparation, analysis, and visualization; visualization deployment; and the interpretation of science maps. Like its predecessor, the second Atlas was greeted enthusiastically, with one review claiming, "[w]hether you read it cover to cover or just browse the extraordinary examples, you put it down inspired." And like the previous book, the Atlas of Knowledge is abundantly illustrated, using many images from the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit. A third and final book in the series, Atlas of Forecasts: Predicting and Broadcasting Science, Technology, and Innovation will be published in 2017.
Additional Publications
In addition to the Atlas series, Börner has written more than 180 articles for academic journals and scholarly texts and has edited several publications. Her major books include:
