Masters student, Wei Lau, presented his second Masters project today. Similar to his previous project, he aims to use the Unity3D gaming engine to create a visualisation system for medical data. He hopes to use it on Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) devices, such as Google Cardboard and the Hololens. His ultimate…
Broadcasting all the way from ANU, Canberra, via Zoom, Jesse Tran presented the talk he did last month for his conference paper at the 21st International Conference on Information Visualisation in London, UK. “My research is to visualise children and adult speech,” Tran explained. “I aim to show how a child’s speech development changes over…
What is more important – Clinical Precision or Clinical Certainty? The aim of Assoc. Prof. Daniel Catchpoole’s research is to use the complexity of genomic data to capture individual differences, make patient-to-patient comparisons, and allow clinicians to use complex genomic data to make informed clinical decisions at the patient’s bedside. According to Catchpoole, in the…
With her Confirmation of Candidature coming up, Masters of Philosophy student, Jolin Qu, treated our meeting this week with a preview of her presentation. Her research is titled Using Machine Learning to Support Better and Intelligent Visualization for Genomic Data. “Visualisation is the process of using diagrams to show data.” Qu’s goal is to…
What are the differences between science and the humanities? This was the question Dr Rachel Hendery began in today’s meeting. “There are some pretty big differences in the data people are interested in,” Hendery explained. “Science often uses large and numeric data, while humanities are concerned on how these data affect human.” …
Simeon Simoff opened our meeting this week with an inspirational speech titled, The Art and Science of Designing Visualisation for Decision Making, in which he explained a selection of research that he has conducted in the past. “This is something that would hopefully assist you,” the professor began to the group of HDR students….
Today, we had the chance to be given a presentation of Nader Khalifa’s PhD project, titled “A Visualisation System for Analysing Biomedical and Genomic Data Sets Using Unity3D Platform.” Nader Khalifa explaining his research Khalifa is working alongside Westmead Hospital, and has been on the project for over three years. “We need to…
In this week’s meeting, Andrew Brunker, a PhD candidate in data visualisation, presented his research on an interactive visualisation for medical treatment. His literature review spaned the horizon of 3D models and heat maps. According to Brunker, he created a workflow that went through: question, data, visualisation, and knowledge. “The framework is web…
This week, we were also lucky to have Mohammad Alkhalaileh present his research titled QoS-Aware Data-Intensive Hybrid Mobile Cloud Computing Framework. His topic explored the computation capability of mobile computing without having to be connected using a fixed physical link. “The limitation of mobile computing include battery, resource intensive tasks and lower bandwidth…
