Office Hour: TBA
Description:
This course will cover diverse topics of visualization techniques, including visualizations in medicine, bioinformatics, nanotechnology, flow, large-scale data, time-dependent data, information, security and privacy, etc. The main objective is to let students to understand the essential visualization components: design, representation, transformation, interaction, and evaluation. The format of the course will be lectures, paper presentations, and project discussions.
Class projects may be done individually or in groups, and may be selected from a suggested list or proposed by students. Different project types are designed according to students’ background, such as programming skills.
