The Computational Visualization Center is a cross disciplinary
effort whose mission is to develop and improve the core technologies for
comprehensive computational modeling, simulation, analysis, and
visualization of natural and synthetic phenomena, and then utilize them
as an integrated tool for rapid discovery. The Center is under the joint
auspicies of the Institute for Computational Engineering and
Sciences and the Department of Computer Sciences at the
University of
Texas at Austin.
The center's current research and education areas of interest span Image
Processing, Computational Geometry, Geometric Modeling, Computer Graphics
Animation, Data Analysis, Visualization, and Computational Mathematics. Recent
research and software development topics include the design and development of
efficient and robust 2D/3D/4D image and geometry filtering, reconstruction,
compression, matching and meshing algorithms. These are being applied in our
current research projects, in particular, to the structure elucidation and
construction of multi-scale domain models of molecules, organelles, cells,
tissues and organs from multi-modal, microscopy and bio-imaging. The center's
research groups are also involved in developing integrated approaches to
computational modeling, mathematical analysis and interrogative visualization,
especially for dynamic bio-medical phenomena. The center's education and
outreach output include generating interpretive scientific animation, and interactive
movies, that are being used in classrom instruction, as well as
increasing the public awareness of the causative nature of disease, and
potential cures.
The center's research is currently funded by grants
from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
