When arriving on the research page: http://cs-dev.cmu.edu/research, users would see a interactive graph with some of our most popular research areas. The graph would be based on some form of taxonomy. When a user clicks on an area, the graph could either display subareas or the user could navigate to that areas landing page, which would display all related/relevant data such as courses, programs, faculty, papers, etc.
