Campus Visualization Lecture
Gaining Insight against Insurmountable Odds
Kelly Gaither
Texas Advanced Computer Center
The Division of Information Technology in conjunction with the Campus Visualization Partnership (CVP) is pleased to announce the third lecture of the season focusing on the use of visualization in research and education. These lectures are intended to raise the awareness of current campus activities and to stimulate new initiatives in scientific, information, medical, and other visualizations. The goal of the series is to make the University of Maryland a national role model for support and use of visualization to improve scholarship and teaching.
Kelly Gaither will discuss why visualization is a powerful medium for analyzing, understanding, and communicating the vast amounts of data being generated every day. The discussion will include examples of visualization over the years and predictions about what the future will hold with so much of our everyday lives being permeated by digital data/information.
Lunch will be provided; however, space is limited.
