Summary
Currently, we are focusing on the development of visual analytics systems which use interactive visualization technologies in order to draw a scientific discovery from big data from supercomputer, measurement systems and social networks. We are doing research on advanced visualization technologies which can effectively and efficiently process the big data. The fundamental visual data science is research on systems and related technologies for deriving new discoveries from big data by applying visualization technology. Currently, we are aiming at improving the visualization performance from a comprehensive viewpoint, a heuristic viewpoint, and an empathetic viewpoint in each process of research question asking, hypothesis forming and testing, and social implementation that form the framework of scientific methods. In this talk, we will show our research accomplishments on fused volume rendering in the computational fluid dynamics, causality exploration in Life and Fishery Sciences.
