Our Research Areas
Visualization is concerned with the techniques for the "transformation" of data into meaningful, computer-generated images. Application areas for visualization technology are, for example, the analysis of data encountered in computational fluid dynamics, computational physics, computational chemistry, computational and molecular biology, medical and satellite imaging, or the simulation of complex hydrodynamics processes.
Geometric modeling is primarily concerned with methods for the representation and manipulation of curves and surfaces with primary applications in the automotive and aircraft industries.
Computer graphics concerns the development of algorithms that allow the generation of highly realistic computer-generated images of complex three-dimensional objects and phenomena. Immersive environments are an emerging technology that provides engineers and scientists with a means for interacting with massive and complex three-dimensional data, typically rendered stereoscopically, in a virtual interaction space.
