Çağatay

  • Finish thesis
    • Model Selection
    • Topology
  • Send the revised article on theory of visualization to CG & A


Connor

  • Take courses.
    • Interdisciplinary SciVis
    • Distributed Databases and Systems
    • Computational Biology
    • Reading & Research: HCI/Viz course reading from last year
    • Independent brush up on probability. Min = follow CSCI45 lectures. Max = do all p-sets and programming.
  • Use classes and additional reading to come up with research proposal.
    • By the end of the semester have a rough draft of my proposal finished
  • Revisit the areas of interest I wrote down for David's class at the end of the semester. Reevaluate them, adding and subtracting as appropriate. My hope is that this will make me more aware of what research topics I am interested in.
    • Designing interactive visualizations to support big data
    • Building visualization software that solves real problems
    • Making visualizations accessible to everyone
  • Read through the VisWeek 2012 proceedings.


David

  • keep grad students moving along
  • keep Cave project moving along (Facilities groundbreaking (delivery dates)
    • facilities budget solid and approved
    • permit applied for
    • facilites work done, including floor delivery and installation
    • metal fab parts completed, delivered, assembled
    • create demo group
  • excellent cs237
  • prep for cool, new(ish?) cs16 for Spring
  • December Expeditions in Computing submission
  • volume rendering interaction in WristVis
  • brain metrics papers out with Ryan
  • longer-term funding matched with group



Jadrian

  • Meta-objective: Be ready to defend by March.
    • Objective: Write a dissertation that covers and synthesizes the work I've done.
    • Objective: Salvage something dissertation-worthy from the tract-noise experiments.
    • Objective: Demonstrate novelty & significance of the "blockhead" method in the dissertation.


Nathan

Steve

  • Give a good InfoVis talk in Seattle on Oct 16
  • Help cs237 be successful as a TA
  • Keep IVRG on track toward an eventual VisWeek or CG+A project
    • Design and pilot user study by end of semester
  • Proposal
    • scheduled for mid-semester
    • final document revised with feedback from committee (draft 3 by Sep 28, any changes made by presentation time)
    • presented to committee
  • Hands-on research
    • Pilot WebGL tractography task on Turk by Nov
    • Evaluation-example search tool online by Oct 13 (Visweek start); try discuss w/ others at BELIV workshop at VisWeek
    • Draft of CG+A paper submitted by Dec 20


Ryan

  • Start thesis proposal
    • Choose committee
    • Choose topic
    • Conduct preliminary work

    • Explore ideas: collaboration, caching, suggestions, level of detail, CAVE applications, user studies


Hua

  • Required coursework: complete two CS courses (or three)
    • Topics in Distributed Databases and System (big data analysis focus!)
    • Computational Photography
    • Human Factors and Interface Design (just sitting-in, perhaps)
