Elisabeta Marai (UIC) Wednesday, Feb. 22, 5:15-6:15 PM, Willamette 100 Dr. Marai’s undergrad researchers working on a summer project visualizing a simulation of the forming universe Computer Graphics is sometimes defined as “mathematics made visible.” What can Computer Graphics do for science? This talk will discuss an array of projects that Dr. Marai and her student group have developed at the Electronic Visualization Lab at the University of Illinois. These projects build on solid mathematical foundations to facilitate the analysis of complex scientific phenomena. The resulting representations and tools have application in domains as diverse as neuroimaging, biology, astronomy and orthopaedics.

    Compute r Graphics is s ome time s de fine d as “mathe matics made vis ible .” What can Compute r Graphics do for s cie nce ? T his ta lk will dis cus s an ar ray of proje cts that Dr . Marai and he r s tude nt group have de ve lope d at the Ele ctronic Vis ualization Lab at the Unive rs ity of Illinois . T he s e proje cts build on s olid mathe matical foundations to facilita te the analys is of comple x s cie ntific phe nome na. T he re s ulting re pre s e ntations and tools have application in domains as dive rs e as ne uroimaging, biology, as tronomy and or thopae dics .
