Title: Interactive 3-D Visualization of Spacecraft Data

Abstract: Existing visualization tools for space science data sets mostly allow for a 2D perspectives in a static environment. In this talk Huizi will present a newly developed 3D interactive and dynamic approach to space data visualizations. Her work includes an browser-based Cluster II data visualization application that constructs projections of plasma parameters on spherical shells. She will also share her update on the application integration of dynamics magnetic field model and iso-surfaces based on machine learning simulations. Finally, she will explore the capabilities of this visualization application on more generalized data sets.

Bio:

Huizi is a graduate student and research assistant in Prof. Ilie’s research group. She finished her bachelor's degree in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her main work involves developments of an interactive 3D data visualization platform for space data applications. The motivation is to investigate the underlaying properties of space plasmas under various conditions and she is striving for making this 3D data visualization platform accessible to the scientific community.
