MRC-funded PhD studentship at the University of Glasgow
E-Science Visualisation for Functional Genomics and Drug Target
Discovery
This studentship will develop new metaphors for large-scale data
visualisation in functional genomics. The student will identify the
best ways of presenting and interacting with data, and define a
software architecture to support the construction of enhanced
scientific visualisations. At the same time, algorithms will be
developed to enable flexible data navigation, based on data reduction
techniques. The work would first involve an in-depth user study of
current tools, a comparison with visualisation research in other
domains, and the development of a deeper understanding of the system
features that enhance biomedical research. It would then propose a
classification of known visualisation techniques in this area and draw
conclusions about the most effective visualisations. The student would
then focus on data reduction algorithms used in the selected types of
visualisations, and produce a design and a prototype a complex
application combining various types of visualisation, which uses the
GRID infrastructure. This system would be tested with the users, and
evaluated with regard to functionality and usability.
This studentship can only be offered to who fulfill the official UK
residence requirements. More general information on the Department of
Computing Science is available at www.dcs.gla.ac.uk. The studentship
will start on 1st October 2004, and the deadline for applications is
31st March 2004.
