Diagnosis of Emphysema and Lung Cancer using 3D techniques.
Modern radiologic techniques, particularly computed tomography (CT) and
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, acquire more data than are routinely displayed
in diagnostic images. Supercomputers can be
very helpful in processing and presenting this information.
Image analysis used on
appropriate images in conjunction with representative
patient databases will permit the
development of clinical analysis and decision support
systems and will form an integral part of the
diagnostic process in the future.

SORTIE Simulation: A Model of Forest Growth
A simulation of 1000 years of forest growth under different
conditions.
(Research by Douglas Deutschman and Linda Buttel at Cornell and Simon Levin
at Princeton University, Visualization by Catherine Devine.)
Molecular Visualization
A variety of research projects focusing on molecular visualization. Projects
range from imaging of chromosomes in petunias, to the mechanism of
Acetylcholinesterase, to mechanisms of Chagas Disease. (Visualization by
Richard Gillilan).
A Physically-Based Model of Fabric Drape
Drape, the final shape a fabric assumes when laid over an object, is
an important characteristic of fabric for both aesthetic and
engineering applications. (Research by Bijian Chen and Muthu
Govindaraj, Department of Textiles and Apparel, Cornell University.

Isospectral drums
Recently it was proved that there exist nonisomeric planar regions that have
identical Laplace spectra. That is, one cannot "hear the shape of a drum." For
more information see technical report

Cornell/Honeywell Keyboard Systems Study
Two-dimension angular
deviation data of wrist motion, obtained with an exoskeleton measuring glove worn by human
subjects using keyboards, had previously been obtained by Hedge. While human factors
researchers had long used such measuring devices to obtain wrist motion data, this data had not
previously been visualized.
Tsunami simulations
Tusnami are caused by underwater earthquakes which start waves propagating
rapidly across the ocean. Simulations help to understand and predict these
large, often dangerous, phenomena.
