Visualization research for real world solutions

I am a visualization researcher who focuses on developing fundamental concepts that find their application in real world solutions. I am passionate about the communication of science to both laymen and experts. I am the proud leader of a large research division with great people and have the privilege of being the director of a visualization center with research, education, innovation and public engagement as an agenda.

Research

I am involved in a large number of research projects ranging from low level computer graphics to applied visualization. Applications of my research are found in  diverse areas such as medical visualization, astrophysics, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and visual learning and communication.

Teaching

One of my first tasks when I started as professor at LiU in 1999 was to define a one-year profile on Visualization in the Media and Technology program. Even since then I have been heavily engaged in teaching courses and defining programs at LiU. Apart from teaching I also supervise many master's thesis projects in visualization and its applications.

Talks

I often present our research at conferences and am frequently invited to give keynotes at research conferences. I also give popular science talks on a range of topics related to my research and motivational talks about science and leadership to a general audience.

Immersive Visualization

The Immersive Visualization Unit researches and develops various techniques to create an immersive and captivating visualization of data using large-scale display systems, such as immersive domes and stereoscopic vision (3D).
Graphics

Information Visualization

The group focuses on the explorative analysis and visualization of typically large and complex information spaces. We develop novel interactive visualization methods and tools that are able to efficiently support analysts from various domains.

Visualization and Interaction Design

We explore new ways for people to interact with data, technology, and digital materials in meaningful ways. Our research draws from a plurality of approaches and disciplines in order to understand and (re)shape our digital lives.
Haptics

Scientific Visualization

We develop novel analysis, visualization and exploration techniques for a better understanding and communication of large data.
Visualization of nanoparticles

Visual Learning and Communication

Our research is about teaching and learning science with visualizations. We focus on biology and molecular sciences, and are interested in both learning with and design of visualizations.
