We are looking for a PhD student in Visualization and Media Technology with focus on Scientific Visualization
Your work assignments
This Ph.D. position is motivated by the need for reliable visualization and data analysis methods that support understanding of the increasing amount of scientific data, e.g. from image acquisition modalities or scientific simulations. Efficient algorithms are at the core of most of these data analysis and visualization applications. The focus of this Ph.D. will be developing efficient and reliable algorithms that arise in the context of topological data analysis and rendering for the visualization of large amounts of data. Close cooperation with other visualization projects in various application areas is expected.
As a PhD student, you devote most of your time to doctoral studies and the research projects of which you are part. Your work may also include teaching or other departmental duties, up to a maximum of 20% of full-time.
