Visual Computing - Making Sense of a Complex World
SESSION: Big Data and Visualization for Scientific Discoveries
EVENT TYPE: Broader Engagement
TIME: 3:30PM - 4:15PM
SESSION CHAIR: Linda Akli
Presenter(s):Chris Johnson
ROOM:355-A
ABSTRACT:
Computers are now extensively used throughout science, engineering, and medicine. Advances in computational geometric modeling, imaging, and simulation allow researchers to build and test models of increasingly complex phenomena and to generate unprecedented amounts of data. These advances have created the need to make corresponding progress in our ability to understand large amounts of data and information arising from multiple sources. To effectively understand and make use of the vast amounts of information being produced is one of the greatest scientific challenges of the 21st Century. Visual computing, which relies on and takes advantage of, the interplay among techniques of visualization, large-scale computing, data management, and imaging, is fundamental to understanding models of complex phenomena, which are often multi-disciplinary in nature. This talk provides examples of interdisciplinary visual computing and imaging research at the Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute as applied to important problems in science, engineering, and medicine.
