COME HELP NASA SCIENTISTS AND ENIGEERS EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE WITH DATA
VISUALIZATION
The NASA JPL / Caltech / Art Center Data to Discovery Program is a
multi-disciplinary program for computer scientists and designers (
datavis.caltech.edu).
Students will develop creative interactive visualization tools for
scientific research/engineering groups selected from a broad set of areas
at JPL and Caltech. Working in multidisciplinary teams, students will use
methods from user-centered design, computing, 3D graphics and interaction
design to visualize real data sets that support active scientific research.
They will receive mentorship in visualization, computing and design from
program co-organizers Hillary Mushkin (Caltech), Scott Davidoff (JPL) and
Maggie Hendrie (Art Center) as well as Santiago Lombeyda (Caltech).
Students will work closely with scientific or engineering researchers to
understand their research and data, identify their visualization needs and
determine the relevance of design iterations to their research and data.
This should be a good opportunity for students interested in data
visualization techniques and real world problems who want to gain
experience crossing disciplinary boundaries.
DATES | June 13 - August 19, 2022 (to be confirmed)
LOCATION | Pasadena, California or online, to be determined
