PhD studentship in Computer Graphics at MMU
Applications are invited for a 3 year University funded Ph.D. project hosted
in the School of Computing, Mathematics and Digital Technology at Manchester
Metropolitan University.
This interdisciplinary project will expand on recent advances made at MMU
and the Institute for Reproductive Medicine at the University of Warwick in
microscopic embryological data processing and visualization. The aim of the
current research is to develop a more detailed understanding of the
molecular basis of the changing 3D organization of developing. The student
will develop methods for semi-automatic segmentation targeted at 3D
microscopic embryological datasets, with implementation and testing on real
pre-existing datasets. Based on the segmentation results, the student will
then create physically based 3D models of embryo shapes and inner
structures. The segmentation and visualization of the number, shape and size
of blastomeres and nuclei will provide valuable information about the
potential viability of the embryo, and will assist embryologists to
understand the mechanisms of developmental failure.
The student will need to combine skills and interests in computer vision,
GPUs and real-time processing; C/C++ and MATLAB based implementation and
physically based modeling. The student should have a good degree in Computer
Science or a suitable other hard science or engineering subject. Preference
will be given to students with appropriate M.Sc. or equivalent research
experience.
The student will receive EU fees and a stipend of £12,000 per annum. The
studentship should be taken up not later than 01/July/12. The Image and
Sensory Computation research group is a lively research environment, which
currently has 5 academics and 6 other researchers working on a variety of
projects concerning human imaging. For full details and informal
discussions, please contact:

/// EuroVis 2012 - Call for Short Papers
/// <http://www.eurovis.org/> http://www.eurovis.org/
For the first time, EuroVis 2012 features a short paper track. The purpose
of this new track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and
follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will
be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program
committee. They will be electronically archived and are fully citeable
publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be 4 pages (at
most), excluding references, and 5 pages (at most), in total. They will be
orally presented at the conference. EuroVis 2012 will be held in Vienna,
Austria, June 5-8, 2012.
Please note that we encourage authors of short papers on visual analytics to
submit to the EuroVA workshop.
Important Dates:
*Short Papers Submission Deadline*: March 2, 2012
Acceptance Notification: April 11, 2012
Camera-ready Deadline: April 25, 2012
Conference Dates: June 5-8, 2012
A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research
contribution and is likely to have a smaller -- yet still significant --
scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same
paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics.
The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to
full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may
be suitable for short papers:
* A new visualization technique or system and evidence of
its utility compared to known techniques or systems
(described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader
in replicating the technique or system, but without
exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation).
* An incremental improvement or variation of an existing
visualization technique or system with convincing
evaluation.
* An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization
technique or system.
* A well-proven counter-example to an existing
visualization technique that helps to understand
limitations.
* A new implementation approach that has demonstrably
addressed a significant technical issue
(without extensive evaluation of the implementation).
* A new methodology for designing or studying visualization
systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis
community (without extensive evaluation of the
methodology).
All submissions must be original works that have not been published
previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book.
