PhD Research Projects

Atomistic Visualization - Visualization algorithms for real time exploration of massive, time varying point cloud datasets produced by atomistic simulations. Challenges include developing level of detail algorithms for unstructured point data and representing sub-pixel features such as occlusion and intersections.

  • In collaboration with Mark Duchaineau and partially supported by Lawrence Livermore summer internship program

HD Teleconferencing and Video Mobility - Middleware for the acquisition, streaming and presentation of HD video and audio sources. This project ties together video capture hardware with a real-time texture compression library and multicast streaming protocol to delivery multiple HD resolution AV streams over gigabit networks with support for mobility -- which is useful for tiled displays. Input sources include HD video cameras, laptop/desktop machines and even video game consoles.

Fixed Cost Stereo [1] - An algorithm for generating stereoscopic images in real time from color+depth monoscopic rendering. This is useful for adding stereoscopic preview to slow rendering algorithms such as volume rendering or large geometric meshes.

Collaborative Visualization Environment [2][3] - A visualization and collaboration framework that allows geographically separated researchers to interactively collaborate with 2D and 3D renderings of volumetric data.
