SFB-TRR 161

If you are looking, or know someone who is looking - please forward them!

I'm open to discuss the topic, but o.c. many ideas!!

In the second event of our #sfbtrr161 lecture series, Jacob Miller will focus on the relationship between faithfulness metrics and how humans interpret data in #networkvisualization: "Evaluating Visualization Quality from Mathematical Soundness to Human Perception". www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtr...

Looking forward to a new edition of our #sfbtrr161 lecture series! Next Monday, @tnagel.bsky.social will kick off the series with a lecture on "Embedded #Visualization of Urban Data: Concepts, Contexts and Perspectives" at @unistuttgart.bsky.social. More info: www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtrr161/

Young woman with strawberry blonde, wavy hair and glasses is smiling into the camera on the left side of the image. On the right side, a white text on a turquoise background reads "Zia - Audible Women in Science: Podcast with Marina Evers". The text is supplemented by a an icon of headphones and the logo of the SFB-TRR 161.

Recommended listening ✨🎧🎙️ In the latest episode of the "Zia - Audible Women in Science" #podcast, Marina Evers, former member of our Project A01, talks about her research and her #career in #science. Listen to the episode here: zia-audible-women-in-science.podigee.io/24-folge-24-... #womeninSTEM

For our final talk at the Women* in Computing Workshop we are joined by Susanne Boll from the University of Oldenburg. Thank you to all our speakers for an afternoon filled with unique perspectives and helpful insights! Now we're off to do some #networking 😀 #WomenInComputing #WIC2025

How to navigate between academia and industry when choosing a career in #computing is addressed by Roswitha Gostner from ZEISS Digital Innovation in the second talk at the Women* in Computing Workshop. Thank you for some helpful tips and tools! #WomeninComputing #WIC2025 #sfbtrr161

In the 2nd talk at the Women* in Computing Workshop, Anicia Peters from NCRST Namibia demonstrated how women researchers can transcend traditional boundaries to build impactful international networks and foster values-driven innovation. Thank you for your inspiring insights! #WIC2025 #sfbtrr161

First talk of the day at the Women* in Computing Workshop: Sofia Seinfeld shares her journey as a researcher working internationally at the intersection of social sciences and computer science and using #virtualreality to create therapeutic solutions and address social challenges 👏 #WIC2025

🔥 Registration for the Women* in Computing Workshop closes tomorrow. Sign up now for a half-day #workshop that focuses on impact and challenges of moving between countries and the role of #networking during a #career in computing. www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtr...

My www.thesisart.de project and my free poster-template were featured today in the betterposters-blog link roundup.

Check it out!

Fun-fact: It took 4 1/2 years to actually land in the roundup, one of my top-5 academic achievements for sure!

Looking forward to two talks this week: on Friday, Dominikus Baur and Alice Thudt will visit us in #Stuttgart and discuss generative design outside of #AI as well as designing custom #visualizations for professional clients. ➡️ www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtr...

[2/3] This Friday, Prof Oliver Deussen (@uni-konstanz.de) is going to talk about how he and his team use VR technology to create a highly controlled environment, in which they research how different animals use visual inputs for movement decisions.

Congratulations to #sfbtrr161 project leader Albrecht Schmidt! For the next five years, his project "AI-Twins of Human Experience: Towards Personal Generative AI-Systems for Amplifying Human Cognition" will be funded with an ERC Advanced Grant ➡️ www.sfbtrr161.de/news/ERC-Adv...

Registration for the 4th Women* in Computing #Workshop is now open! Join us at Ulm University for talks and group activities centered around the topic ✨ Building Bridges and Breaking Borders: #Networking & Moving in the International #Career Landscape ✨ ➡️ shorturl.at/cykJs #WomenInTech

In this week's #sfbtrr161 talks, Hanhe Lin will talk about #medicalimage quality assessment. Raouf Hamzaoiui will discuss compression strategies for video-based #pointclouds. Looking forward to it 🤩 More info: www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtr...

Recommended reading 📖 ✨ Artist Gretta Louw writes about her experiences working with the e-David robot in the lab of #sfbtrr161 project leader Oliver Deussen. Starting in 2009, e-David is a pioneer project in the field of robotic painting and was one of the first to use a visual feedback system.

A group of around 40 people have lined up in two rows for a group photo at the SFB-TRR 161 status seminar. The people in the front row are kneeling on the floor, those in the back row are standing. The people are partly male, partly female and of different ages. They are mostly dressed casually and in different colors. They smile at the camera. The background is a house wall made of gray wooden slats with two floor-to-ceiling windows. The logo “SFB-TRR 161 Quantitative Methods for Visual Computing” is superimposed in white at the bottom right of the image, and “#FirstPost” can be read on a turquoise rectangle at the top left of the image.

👋 Hello Bluesky! We're a DFG-funded, transregional collaborative #research center exploring quantitative methods for #VisualComputing – from computer graphics and vision to visual analytics and human-computer interaction and beyond. Happy to now share our news & ideas on here as well! #firstpost
