Alexandru C. Telea
Department of Mathematics and Computing |
Starting mid 2019, I hold an appointment as full professor in Visual Data Analytics at the Department of Information and Computing Sciences, Utrecht University. Prior to this, I worked as full professor of Multiscale Visual Analytics
at the Bernoulli Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Groningen.
My research interests cover the following:
information
visualization and visual analytics (software
comprehension, infovis systems design) big data multiscale visualization
(visual metaphors for large hierarchical
data) image/shape processing (2D/3D skeletonization, medical imaging, image processing) source code analysis (reverse engineering, program comprehension, fact extraction and querying) interactive systems design (visual exploration techniques, interaction and animation in visualization) scientific visualization (GPU-based acceleration techniques, PDE-based visualization) Research Publications (updated once/month) My group's (SVCG) webpage (updated once/few months) Visual gallery (updated once/year) |
The Book (new edition 2014)
Data Visualization: Principles and Practice (2nd edition, 610 pages) This second edition of my book first published in 2008 provides a practical introduction to data
visualization. New in the 2nd edition: detailed C/C++ code samples, exam questions, projects, datasets, and ParaView scenarios. Second edition published by CRC Press in 2014. Chinese edition published in 2018. Over 5000 copies sold (2018). |

MSc Students
Here is a list of research-result-based selected MSc student theses I have supervised as main director (out of 80+ such works). Links point to their MSc theses.
PhD Research
My PhD research (2000) was on the design and implementation of VISSION, an
application building environment for VIsualization
and SImulation with Object-oriented Networks.
VISSION offers object-oriented tools for scientific visualization and
real-time interaction with running simulations, is easily extendable with
user modules, and creates visual programming and GUIs automatically from object-oriented code.
Put stronger: It proves that all you can achieve in Java you can also get in C++, but better.
Research valorization
My work led to a successful (>2M EUR turnover) start-up company (SolidSource BV) specialized in tools and services for the visual analysis of big data for industry-scale software maintenance.
