| Scientific Visualization is the process of presenting data
using computer generated graphics allowing one to explore and understand
the data in a more intuitive and meaningful format. This talk will
describe some of the basic visualization algorithms for 2D, 3D and 4D
scientific data , including data from computational fluid dynamics,
oceanography, geology, medical and biological simulations and
observations. The available software and libraries that are used for
visualization will also be presented. While the talk will focus on
scientific visualization, there will be some discussion on information
visualization and visual analytics. Finally, current research areas will
be described as well as ongoing research at Rutgers. Deborah Silver is
a professor in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. She received a B.S. from
Columbia University School of Engineering in 1984 and an MS. (1986) and
a Ph.D. (1988) from Princeton University in Computer Science. Her area
of research is Scientific Visualization and Computer Graphics and she
has been a PI in the Vizlab at the CAIP Center, Rutgers University since
joining the faculty in 1988. She has taught courses in Computer
Graphics, Visualization, Data Structures, Software Engineering and
Robotics. She is involved in different visualization projects including
oceanographic visualization, bioeffects visualization, CFD
visualization, medical visualization and volume graphics. She has been
co-chair of the papers session and program co-chair of the yearly IEEE
Visualization conference, she has been Vice Chair of operations for the
IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Graphics (1993-2000), and she has
been on the editorial committee of the IEEE Transaction on Visualization
and Computer Graphics (1995-2000). |
