Two (2) PhD studentships in Scientific Visualization and Data
Analysis will be available in the fall of 2019 at the
department of Modeling, Simulation, and Visualization
Engineering (MSVE: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.odu.edu/msve">https://www.odu.edu/msve</a>), Batten College
of Engineering and Technology (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.odu.edu/eng">https://www.odu.edu/eng</a>), Old

Candidates already with Master’s degrees (or those currently
in MS programs yet toward transfers) in computer science,
information science or engineering, electrical engineering,
applied mathematics, or other closely related disciplines are
expected. The successful candidate will perform intensive
research and sustainable development in scientific
visualization and data analysis, involving vector / flow field
visualization, parallel visualization, uncertainty
visualization, and virtual reality. An ideal candidate should</div>
<div><br>
* be highly self-motivate d<br>
* have a deep passion for research<br>
* address tasks in a discreet, progressive, and accordingly
thorough manner<br>
* demonstrate strong research ability and solid development
capability (with C/C++ programming required and with OpenGL /
GLSL / CUDA / multi-threading / MPI programming desired,
considered a plus)<br>
* possess great communication skills in written and oral
English</div>
<div><br>
ODU is a national research university, as classified by the
Carnegie Foundation. With an enrollment of 25,000 students,
ODU is located at Norfolk, VA, just along the east coast of
the United States. The surrounding metropolitan area called
“Hampton roads”, covering other neighbor cities (Newport News,
Hampton, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, et al), has a
population of over 1.7 million. Norfolk is considered the
historic, financial, and cultural center of this region, about
20 miles from NASA Langley Research Center (Hampton), about 25
miles from Jefferson National Lab (Newport News), and about
3.5 hours of drive from Washington DC.</div>
<div><br>
The MSVE department of ODU is the first of the nation to offer
a doctoral program in modeling and simulation engineering,
currently with a significant initiative in scientific
visualization and data analysis in an effort to address the
increasing needs of domain experts as they resort to the
modeling-simulation-visualization-analysis cycle towards
scientific discovery. MSVE students have access to
state-of-the-art high-performance computing facilities in
addition to research labs, a virtual reality theater, and a
four-wall CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment). The
graduate program is unique for the multidisciplinary
characteristics, involving 35 faculty members from six
academic colleges. In addition, it is supported by research
scientists and computing resources of the nearby Virginia
Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation Center (VMASC) located at
Suffolk, VA.</div>
