Talk of Prof. Helwig Hauser at FI MU
Let us invite you to the talk of our special guest Prof. Helwig Hauser from the
University of Bergen, which will be held on the 8th of November (Thursday) at 3
PM in the D2 room.
From One to Many in Visualization
A lot of interesting development has been happening in visualization research in
the past 25 years. Certain topics, like medical visualization, flow
visualization, tabular data visualization, and network visualization have
attracted continued interest over many years and every year fascinating new
findings are presented. We focus on the important work of optimizing our
solutions and maturing the field. Every now and then, however, we also see
promising chances for radical innovation, for new pioneering research in
visualization. In this talk, we take a look at one of these chances, i.e., to
transition from the visualization of individual datasets to visually studying
large sets of datasets, for example from medical cohort studies or from
numerical ensemble simulations. It seems that relevant new visualization
challenges arise, when hundreds or thousands of datasets are studied
simultaneously—in particular, when these are sets of multi-aspect spatiotemporal
datasets. This talk brings up some of the related major questions (for example:
how to map to the 2D/3D visualization space), together with examples of related
work, and hopefully inspires some bright minds to conduct more visualization
research on this topic of increasing relevance.
Helwig Hauser's Short Bio
Helwig Hauser graduated in 1995 from Vienna University of Technology in Austria
and in 1998 he finished his PhD project on the visualization of complex
dynamical systems (flow visualization). In 2003, he got his Habilitation at TU
Wien, entitled ''Generalizing Focus+Context Visualization''—in 2006 this work
was awarded with the Heinz-Zemanek Award by OCG. Already in 2004, his work on
the interactive visual analysis of simulation data won the IEEE Visualization
Contest in Austin. In 2013, Helwig Hauser then received the Dirk Bartz Prize for
Visual Computing in Medicine from Eurographics (medical ultrasound data
visualization). With >190 refereed publications and >7500 citations (h-index ≈
50), he is an active and respected member of the international visualization
research community. Recently, he chaired/hosted several important visualization
conferences, including EuroVis 2011, PacificVis 2012, IEEE InfoVis 2013 & 2014,
and VCBM 2016 in Bergen, and he has been serving as associate editor for three
of the central journals (including IEEE TVCG, CGF, and C&G). After first working
for TU Wien as assistant and later as assistant professor (1994–), he changed to
the new VRVis Research Center in 2000 (having been one of the founding team,
also). There, he led the basic research group on interactive visualization
(until 2003) before he became the scientific director of VRVis (–2007). Since
then, he is professor in visualization at the University of Bergen in Norway,
where he built up a new research group on visualization.
