Topological Approaches for Three Dimensional Graph Drawing. Human analysis of huge quantities of relational data in biotechnology, web engineering, social networks, and computer networks requires visualization.

Human analysis of huge quantities of relational data in biotechnology, web engineering, social networks, and computer networks requires visualization. In recent years, three-dimensional visualisation has promised to give new insights into such abstract data. However the past ten years of visualization research has had very little impact on the industry; visualization software providers have not adopted visualization methods developed by academics. We hypothesise that current 3D relational visualization methods fail because they do not pay attention to the human perception of topology. In this project we will leverage mathematical topology to construct new methods for the 3D visualization of relational data.

New Methods for Interactive Visualization of Large Microarray Data Sets. This project will investigate methods for visualising graphs produced by AI-based analysis of real-world biological data. These new visualisation methods will assist biologists to develop new DNA Microarray experiments, the source of raw data for visualisation. Data from new enhanced experiments, plus background knowledge from integrated public databases will produce richer data for visualisation, thus creating a positive f ....New Methods for Interactive Visualization of Large Microarray Data Sets. This project will investigate methods for visualising graphs produced by AI-based analysis of real-world biological data. These new visualisation methods will assist biologists to develop new DNA Microarray experiments, the source of raw data for visualisation. Data from new enhanced experiments, plus background knowledge from integrated public databases will produce richer data for visualisation, thus creating a positive feedback loop in the course of research into both topics.Read moreRead less
A clinically valid simulator with tactile sensing to train specialists to perform cochlea implantation. This project aims to create a medical simulation system with tactile sensing for cochlear implant operations. The developed system will provide an opportunity to study cochlear implantation process and examine its effect in a patient before it is carried out. It will be also used to train ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialists in cochlear implantation, thus replacing the current costly and no ....A clinically valid simulator with tactile sensing to train specialists to perform cochlea implantation. This project aims to create a medical simulation system with tactile sensing for cochlear implant operations. The developed system will provide an opportunity to study cochlear implantation process and examine its effect in a patient before it is carried out. It will be also used to train ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialists in cochlear implantation, thus replacing the current costly and non-effective method of using temporal bones.Read moreRead less
