Algorithm creates tessellating triangular pieces to build physical replicas of structures such as cells or viruses.
Two papers from KAUST's Visual Computing Center were recognized at IEEE VIS 2023, with one introducing a new method for detecting and visualizing vortex structures in 2D fluid flows, and the other presenting a framework for physicalizing biological structures as 3D-printed models.
KAUST visiting student Aljaz Bogataj, who spent three months in the NANOVIS research group, shared his impressions of work and life at KAUST.
We are proudly announcing that Dr. Ivan Viola has been promoted to the rank of Professor.
We are proudly announcing that Dr. Alexandre A. Kouyoumdjian has joined the Nanovisualization Research Group as a Research Scientist working with Professor Ivan Viola. His main research interests are Visualization & Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction & Virtual Reality, and Microarchitecture. Dr. Alexandre A.
Together with our partners from Tsinghua University and Nanographics, our group has succeeded in depicting the first 3D visualizations of Cryo-EM microscopy tomography directly from the data. We are advancing the technology to allow for clear, noise-free visualization of this challenging data modality.
Microscope and protein data are incorporated into an easy-to-use-and-update tool that can model an organism’s 3D appearance.
Three papers presented at IEEE VIS 2020 authored by the Nanovisualization group at KAUST!
1. Our new 3D rapid modeling technique for creating mescoscale models, developed together with Scripps Research, Nanographics, and TU Wien,
Austria: 10.1109/TVCG.2020.3030415
The Nanovisualization group at KAUST has collaborated with AIT and TU Wien, Austria and Imperial College London, UK on the development of a new 3D visualization technique for In-Silico Design for DNA-Nanotechnology. This work is published in NAR:
We are proudly announcing that Dr. Ciril Bohak has joined VCC as a Postdoctoral researcher of Computer Science in October, 2020. Ciril Bohak is a Postdoctoral Researcher and Teaching Assistant in the Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Multimedia, Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Prof. Ivan Viola will act as the Eurographics 2021 Full Papers Chair in the upcoming 42nd Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics - Eurographics 2021 - that will take place on May 3 − 7, 2021.
Feng Liang is a computer science and engineering graduate who will join KAUST from the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), China. Feng will join the University this fall as a M.S. candidate and member of the KAUST Nanovisualization Research Group under the supervision of Professor Ivan Viola.
As bioscience and medicine progress, we are now able to live with diseases, which were once a death sentence. And we are rapidly discovering new interactions at the microscopic level that give us insight into the engines of life. However, as research gets more complicated, the layperson gets left further and further behind. Even those who trust the work of scientists can feel overwhelmed when attempting to read the latest research.
We present a new technique for rapid modeling and construction of scientifically accurate mesoscale biological models.
Prof. Ivan Viola will act as the Eurovis 2020 Full Papers Chair in the upcoming joint conferences Eurographics and Eurovis 2020.
