Current Courses:

Research Lab

Research: Visual Analytics

CZSaw Visual Analytics System
RAShips available! I am looking for talented Informatics
people to research new techniques for analyzing and interacting with
text databases. The CZSaw system keeps an interactive history of analysis,
and maintians analyses in a dependency structure similar to spreadsheets.

Research: BioInformatics Visualization

IMAS Interactive Multigenomic Analysis System
RAShips available! I am looking for talented Informatics
people to research new techniques for analyzing and interacting with
Biological Sequence Data, as well as other types of sequence data

Research: New Technologies for Chronic Pain

RAShips available! I am looking for talented Informatics
people to research new Virtual Reality techniques and technologies
that help people with Chronic Pain manage their pain.
