About Marco Agus Marco Agus Research Engineer, Electrical and Computer Engineering virtual reality visualization 3D graphics Scientific Visualization Marco Agus was a Research Engineer in the High Performance Visualization Group (HPV) working with Professor Markus Hadwiger at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Education and Early Career He obtained his master degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Cagliari in Italy in 1999. He has a Ph. D. in Mechanical Design from the University of Cagliari. Before joining KAUST, Marco was a researcher at Visualization and Virtual Reality Group in the Center for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia (CRS4) in Italy. After that in 2007, he moved to Articles Related News January 2019 Visualization of brain structures helps to model function 1 min read · Thu, Jan 3 2019 News bioscience Computer simulations and virtual reality are used by KAUST researchers and collaborators in France to visualize the energetic coupling between neurons and astrocytes and to improve understanding of brain metabolism. The human brain uses more energy than any other organ, accounting for around 20 percent of all glucose-derived energy. Neurons can’t meet their own energy requirements: they depend on supporting glial cells and the neurovascular system to supply various forms of sugar fuel. However, it is still unclear how this neuro-glio-vasculature network manages the brain’s energy demands
