Henning Biermann Ph.D. Student Department of Computer Science Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences New York University Interests I spent a lot of time studying Theoretical Computer Science. Recently, I got interested in Computer Graphics and Visualization. Projects Algorithm Visualization Richard Cole and I started to work on the visualization of algorithms last term. We are trying to use visualizations to explain the correctness of algorithms, and to explain the analysis of their complexity and runnning time in particular. Currently, we're preparing interactive online lecture notes on selected algorithms to demonstrate our concept of educational visualization. Related Work in our department: Chee Yap's research group is working on "Active Visualization" of scientific data. Ken Perlin's Pad Project investigates zooming (multiscale) interfaces. These interfaces allow to navigate in and interact with recursive structures. Computational Biology Currently, Bud Mishra and I are looking at some problems arising in DNA sequence analysis and verification. Also, Laxmi Parida and Thomas Ananatharaman working on computational biology in our department. There has been some joint work on "optical mapping" with David Schwartz' research group in the chemistry department.
