Lubrano Conference Room (CIT 4th Floor)
In this talk, I discuss an ongoing project within the SimCenter at the HPC2 involving the visualization of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) dynamics. These systems have interesting physical properties that have not been adequately realized in current literature, and I present a novel, glyph-based tensor visualization scheme to depict NLC dynamics---a Scientific Visualization example. However, this work is based upon an initial need to study the overall behavior of the NLC data over many timesteps, a problem that we have approached by using multidimensional data visualization---an Information Visualization example. My talk will show how these two very different approaches complement each other, and discuss other possible combinations for future consideration.
Dr. T.J. Jankun-Kelly is an assistant professor of computer science and engineering within the James Worth Bagley College of Engineering, Mississippi State University. His research areas are at the intersection of scientific and information visualization. His goal is to make visualization techniques and systems more effective by improving interaction methods and visualization utilization. Towards this end, he focuses on visualization interfaces, visualization modeling, and applications such as volume, graph, and security visualization. T.J. has a Master's and Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis and a B.S. from Harvey Mudd College.
