Visualization & Imaging
Goals
- Foster collaborations between artists, designers, engineers, and scientists toward the development of novels approaches to data visualization and the imaging and photographic documentation of scientific observations, to comprehend interactions in complex ecosystems, and to facilitate a broader understanding of our scientific observations with business leaders, policy makers, and the general public.
- Increase access/training/utilization of RI C-AIM imaging/visualization equipment and software and develop novel approaches to imaging
- Create new collaborations between faculty and students of C-AIM institutions for advancing visualization, imaging and microscopy
- Advance the role of visual literacy in scientific inquiry
Expected Outcomes
- New visualizations will be created that illuminate research, education, training and communication
- Novel approaches to data visualization and new methods of imaging will be fostered
- Imaging infrastructure and access/training on high-end imaging equipment will be enhanced
- New method for batch processing of confocal images
- New method for quantitative analysis of confocal images
- Heightened awareness of value of high throughput biology and 3D images
