    abstract = "In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing high-quality interactive methods for realistic volume illumination. However, refraction - despite being an important aspect of light propagation in participating media - has so far only received little attention. In this thesis, we present a novel approach for refractive volume illumination including caustics capable of interactive frame rates. By interleaving light and viewing ray propagation, our technique avoids memory-intensive storage of illumination information and does not require any precomputation. Propagation of refracted illumination is realized by employing a Semi-Lagrangian backward integration scheme, inspired by texture advection from the field of texture-based flow visualization. It is fully dynamic and all parameters such as light position and transfer function can be modified interactively without a performance penalty.",

    title = "Visual Analysis of Protein-Protein Interaction",
    school = "University of Bergen",
    year = "2017",
    abstract = "Over the last decade there has been a steady increase in the focus of research into Protein-Protein docking. The Docking software provides a plausible configuration to a Protein-Protein Interaction. The docking will also provide analysis and ranking of said plausible configuration of Protein-Protein Interaction. The Docking softwares are getting more reliable, but there are still parameters that the software can’t handle, and domain experts have to manually explore the configurations to find and select the relevant ones, which is a time consuming process. With our software, the time used by domain experts to explore the configurations, will be reduced. This software provides a nice overview of the connections between the two proteins in a Protein-Protein Interaction, and provides 3D visual aid to locate the spatial orientation of the contact zone in the proteins, and the Amino Acid pairs in the contact zones spatial orientation to each other.",

    abstract = "The size of volumetric datasets used in medical environments is increasing  at a rapid pace. Due to excessive pre-computation and memory demanding  data structures, most current approaches for volume visualization  do not meet the requirements of daily clinical routine. In this diploma  thesis, an approach for interactive high-quality rendering of large  medical data is presented. It is based on image-order raycasting  with object-order data traversal, using an optimized cache coherent  memory layout. New techniques and parallelization strategies for  direct volume rendering of large data on commodity hardware are presented.  By using new memory efficient acceleration data structures, high-quality  direct volume rendering of several hundred megabyte sized datasets  at sub-second frame rates on a commodity notebook is achieved.",
