Project
The project will count for 34% of the final mark.
See the project page for the project description.
Internships
I may propose internships to students highly interested in information visualisation.
My current research interests are:
- using animation in visualisation to understand reordering
- understanding how to use the visual variables 'depth' and 'size' together without too much interference
- visualization for uneven distributions to understand inequalities
- leveraging high performance computing infrastructure to enable high throughput interactive visualisations
Those subject can be applied to datasets comming from geoscience.
Subject details will be discussed with prospective students, feel free to contact me.
