Students

As a PhD student, I get to supervise theses for students aiming for the MSc. or BSc. degrees. Here are the students I had the pleasure to work with.
If you are an undegraduate student looking for thesis topic or a supervisor and you happen to like the area of visualization, check my:

Visualization of the Social Network at Kyberia.sk
Peter Gonda

Kyberia.sk is a community webserver for the Slovak cyber-underground. Peter decided to visualize the rich network of social relationships that exist in this community. He devised original ways of displaying the complicated information together with ways of interactive visual exploration of relationships between the members.

Filesystem Visualization Using InterRing
Martin Škorupa

This project was about discussing and testing different setups of the InterRing visualization method for filesystem visualization. Various file and directory properties (size, data, depth) were mapped to various properties of the InterRing segments (width, color, texture). Then specified exploratory scenarios were applied and tested. In addition, the browsing of the directory tree employs the focus+context principles.

Using Modern Hardware for Effective Large Data Visualization
Martin Florek

Martin did a nice job on how the current GPUs can be used to speed up rendering of information visualization displays. What different infovis displays have in commom is the use of large number of basic geometry elements (lines, dots). Not quite the target application for nowadays game-oriented GPUs. But as Martin Florek showed in his thesis (and in our SCCG 2006 poster too), reasonable improvement can be achieved if we takes the advantage of shaders or stencil tests.
