Are you looking to start or continue pursuing a PhD in data 
visualization research?  Come study with us at the University of New 
Hampshire: Our Data Visualization Research Lab is directed by Colin Ware 
and we are housed within the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, which 
provides us with endless new visualization challenges!  We develop 
highly-interactive visualizations with a focus on understanding the 
underlying human perceptual factors that make them effective at 
conveying information and providing insight.

We recently received funding for a new 5-year project: ADEON, the 
Atlantic Deepwater Ecosystem Observatory Network, a wide array of 
directional hydrophones located along the Atlantic continental shelf 
that listens to sound from marine life, shipping, etc.  For this 
project, we have secured multi-year funding to support a PhD student 
with a research assistantship conducting data visualization research 
into the massive amount of complex soundscape data being collected.

Students will also be exposed to a wide range of visualization and 
interaction projects, including flow visualization, stereoscopic 3D, 
augmented reality and virtual reality, perceptual human factors studies, 
cartography, and more.

The ideal applicant would have excellent English writing abilities, 
capable of programming in C++/C# and creating interactive computer 
graphics using OpenGL/WebGL.  Experience with GIS systems or 
sound/spectral analysis are big pluses.

Interested students should email Professor Thomas Butkiewicz at 
tbutkiewicz@ccom.unh.edu <mailto:tbutkiewicz@ccom.unh.edu> for more 
details.  Applications are due by February 2017 for enrollment in the 
Fall 2017 semester.  Early start in May 2017 also possible.
