Illustrative Rendering, Visualization, and Human-Computer Interaction > AVIZ > Inria Saclay / Université Paris-Saclay > Inria

Welcome

 

I am a senior research scientist (directeur de recherche) with the AVIZ project team at Inria, located on the Saclay / Université Paris-Saclay campus, at the south outskirts of Paris in France.

I am member of the Scientific Visualization and Computer Graphics research group within the Johann Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Since September 2010,

My research focuses on questions in the fields of interactive scientific visualization and illustrative rendering, using methods from computer graphics, non-photorealistic rendering (NPR), and human-computer interaction. I am specifically interested in (2D and, in particular, 3D) interaction techniques for work with illustrative visualizations on non-traditional hardware as well as illustrative visualization that is inspired by traditional illustration, such as questions on how to use and control abstraction in visualization.

p text-align=justify color=red I am currently looking for a PhD student with a solid background in computer graphics and/or visualization who is interested in working with me on the topic of Support of the Interactive Visual Exploration and Classification of Temporal Development in 3D Datasets using the Example of Cell Division Data. Please contact me by e-mail if you are interested or directly apply at the mentioned application site.

News and Upcoming Events

October 2024 At IEEE VIS 2024, we will present two journal papers: one on “V-Mail: 3D-Enabled Correspondence about Spatial Data on (Almost) All Your Devices” and another one on “Visualizing and Comparing Machine Learning Predictions to Improve Human-AI Teaming on the Example of Cell Lineage” that are published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
October 2023 At IEEE VIS, we will present two papers: one on “Design Characterization for Black-and-White Textures in Visualization” and another one on “MeTACAST: Target- and Context-aware Spatial Selection in VR”. Both are also journal articles that are published in IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
October 2023 At IEEE VIS, we will also present a paper on “Data Embroidery with Black-and-White Textures” at the alt.VIS workshop.
June 2023 I was invited to give a keynote at the FARIvis workshop at EuroVis EG Logo 2023. I talked about “Toward FAIR Visualization of Visualization Research”.
June 2023 At EuroVis EG Logo 2023 we also presented the MolVA workshop paper “Moliverse: Contextually Embedding the Microcosm into the Universe” (published in the journal Computers \& Graphics) and the Computer Graphics Forum state of the art article on the “State of the Art of Molecular Visualization in Immersive Virtual Environments”.
March 2023 Our journal article on “Molecumentary: Adaptable Narrated Documentaries Using Molecular Visualization” was published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. We presented this work at IEEE VIS.
February 2023 I contributed to a journal article on the “Moliverse: Contextually Embedding the Microcosm into the Universe”, which was just accepted to the Computer & Graphics. We will present this work later this year at the MolVA workshop at EuroVis EG Logo 2023.
February 2023 🎓 My PhD student Jiayi Hong 洪佳怡 successfully defended her PhD thesis on “Machine Learning Supported Interactive Visualization of Hybrid 3D and 2D Data for the Example of Plant Cell Lineage Specification” on February 14. Congratulations Jiayi!
January 2023 I contributed to a journal article on the “State of the Art of Molecular Visualization in Immersive Virtual Environments”, which was just accepted to the Computer Graphics Forum. We will present this work later this year at EuroVis EG Logo 2023.
January 2023 I was invited (and accepted) to serve as associate editor for the journal Computer Graphics Forum, for the four-year term 2023–2026.
December 2022 Our journal article on “V-Mail: 3D-Enabled Correspondence about Spatial Data on (Almost) All Your Devices” was accepted to the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. We'll present this work later at IEEE VIS 2024.
December 2022 Our journal article on “Point Specification in Collaborative Visualization for 3D Scalar Fields Using Augmented Reality” is published in Springer's Virtual Reality journal.
October 2022 At IEEE VIS, we presented the paper “BeauVis: A Validated Scale for Measuring the Aesthetic Pleasure of Visual Representations”, which appears as a journal article in TVCG.
October 2022 At IEEE VIS, we also presented two TVCG journal articles: one on “Molecumentary: Adaptable Narrated Documentaries Using Molecular Visualization” and one on “Do You Believe Your (Social Media) Data? A Personal Story on Location Data Biases, Errors, and Plausibility as well as their Visualization”.
October 2022 Next, at IEEE VIS, together with Robert S. Laramee, Petra Isenberg, and Torsten Möller, I co-organized the panel “Is This (Panel) Good Enough for IEEE VIS?”, with panelists Cody Dunne, Alexander Lex, Torsten Möller, Alvitta Ottley, and Melanie Tory.
October 2022 Finally, at IEEE VIS, we also presented the poster “A Design Space for Linked 2D and 3D Visual Representations”.
