Refined extraction of vortex core lines in fluid flow

Research interest

  • Flow visualization: e.g., for blood flow, aneurisms, advection-diffusion of oxygen and nutrients, development of tissue, transport of inertial particles in the respiratory system
  • Volume rendering: e.g., for revealing structure in computed tomography scans
  • Visual analytics: e.g., for revealing structure in large complex data, including multi-field multi-variate and multi-physics data, integrating simulated data and measurements
  • Tensor field visualization: e.g., for understanding the fiber structure in diffusion tensor imaging of the brain, stresses in the skeleton
