Best Poster at VCBM 2024 and a visit to TU Wien

October 14, 2024 in News,Team Garrison

The VisGroup contributed a short paper and poster to the 2024 VCBM Symposium held this year from September 18-19 in Magdeburg, Germany.

First-year PhD student Roxanne Ziman and visiting Master student Beatrice Budich from Magdeburg presented their design study on the MoBa Pregnancy and Child Development Dashboard [1]. First-year PhD student Amy Zhang presented The Manhattan Wheel [2], which took home the Best Poster award.

Amy and Roxanne also contributed to the Fachgruppen (Working Group) session leading up to VCBM, with provoking talks on Critical Visualization and the Impacts of Generative AI in Biomedical Visualization.

Laura Garrison and Amy Zhang continued on to a long-awaited research visit with the Computer Graphics unit at TU Wien. Laura presented her work on historical data cultures, When the Body Became Data [3], while Amy presented reflections on design collaborations within science communication and education [A] [B]. The trip ended with visits to VRVis, Nanographics, and CVAST, as well as some much needed sightseeing in the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria.
