Tier 1
Visualization Services Center
Imtiaz Hossain
imtiaz(at)lsu.edu
Location: LSU Middleton Library
Reports to: LSU Information Technology Services
- First point of contact for visualization requests
- License management for commercial software at LSU
- Amira
- Ensight
- TecPlot
|
Tier 2
Advanced visualization service Lab
Jinghua Ge
jge1(at)lsu.edu
Location: Frey Computational Services Center
Reports to: CCT CyD Division and HPC Manager
- Second point of contact for visualization requests
if they can't be fullfilled by Tier 1
- Providing solutions on customer request
beyond availability by standard software
- Communication with LSU scientists and CCT researchers regarding to visualization
requirements, facilities, development, and coordination.
We want to learn from scientists and users the nature of scientific
data/phenomem, what to expect from data visualization, and how to improve
interaction experience. We also coordinate with scientists, users, and
visualization researchers, find ways to work together.
-
Three major directions:
- scientific data visualization
- information visualization
- interactive virtual environment development.

conceive new visual concepts
- Research projects:
- Unified Data Model for Scientific Visualization
[Benger et.al.,2006],
[Venkataraman et.al.,2006],
[Buleu, 2007]
- Multifield Visualization Methods (tensor fields,
multiple scalar fields, eigenvector methods)
[Benger et.al., 2006],
[Benger & Hege, 2006],
[Benger, 2008],
[Benger, 2008]
