Speaker: Erik Engquist, Rice University

Visualization technology at Rice University shows up everywhere, from undergraduate education to advanced research and international collaboration. The University provides a varied collection of tools and facilities, as well as training, in order to provide the flexibility required by researchers and educators and there, often quite complex, workflows. In this presentation I will discuss some of the hardware and software infrastructure available on campus such as the DAVinCI visualization wall and remote visualization portal. The DAVinCI Visualization Wall is located in the Chevron Visualization Lab. I will also present examples of how these components are combined and used by groups on campus to streamline their efforts in teaching, research, and outreach.
