Project for InfraVis
-
Visualizing Literacy of Children in School
This project explores ways of visualizing data concerning the literacy metrics of elementary school children in Sweden, collected using a sophisticated tool developed for this very purpose.
-
Dynamically Visualizing high-dimensional datasets using parallel coordinates plot
Displaying many dimensions of a dataset simultaneously presents its set of challenges. One way of going about dealing with these challenges is to present each data point, each “row” if you will, as a line across all axes parallel to each other. This project aim to provide a solution for any such dataset.

Producing and Rendering a 3D Mesh of Cassida Viridis – Green Tortoise Beetle
This project focused on developing a user-friendly and accessible pipeline for producing 3D models or ‘meshes’ from volumetric datasets, specifically for this case, in the domain of biology.
