Analysis-Guided Improvements of the Material Point Method, School of Computing, University of Utah, 2009.
The Material Point Method (MPM) has shown itself to be a powerful tool in the simulation of large deformation problems, especially those involving complex geometries and contact where typical finite element type methods frequently fail. While these large complex problems lead to some impressive simulations and solutions, there has been a lack of basic analysis characterizing the errors present in the method, even on the simplest of problems. However, like most methods which employ mixed Lagrangian (particle) and Eulerian strategies, analysis of the method is not straight forward. The lack of an analysis framework for MPM, as is found in finite element methods, makes it challenging to explain anomalies found in its employment and makes it difficult to propose methodology improvements with predictable outcomes. In this dissertation, we provide a formal analysis of the errors in MPM and use this analysis to direct proposed improvements. In particular, we will focus on how the lack of regularity in the grid functions used for representing the solution can hamper both spatial and temporal convergence of the method. We will show how the use of smoother basis functions, such as B-splines, can improve the accuracy of the method. An in-depth analysis of the current time stepping methods will help to explain behavior currently demonstrated numerically in the literature and will allow users of the method to understand the balance of spatial and temporal errors in MPM. Lastly, extrapolation techniques will be proposed to improve quadrature errors in the method.

Gaze-Based Focus Adaption in an Information Visualization System, In Proceedings of the Conference on Computer Graphics and Visualization and Image Processing (CGVCVIP '09), 2009.
As the complexity and amount of real world data continuously grows, modern visualization systems are changing. Traditional information visualization techniques are often not sufficient to allow an in-depth visual data exploration process. Multiple view systems combined with linking & brushing are only one building block of a successful InfoVis system. In this paper we propose the incorporation of cheap and simple gaze-based interaction. We employ the tracking information not for selecting data (i.e. mouse interaction) but for an intelligent adaption of 2D and 3D visualizations. Derived from the focus+context paradigm, we call this gaze-focus. The proposed methods are demonstrated by means of three different visualizations.

Caleydo: Connecting Pathways with Gene Expression, In Bioinformatics, Vol. 25, No. 20, pp. 2760--2761. 2009.
Understanding the relationships between pathways and the altered expression of their components in disease conditions can be addressed in a visual data analysis process. Caleydo uses novel visualization techniques to support life science experts in their analysis of gene expression data in the context of pathways and functions of individual genes. Pathways and gene expression visualizations are placed in a 3D scene where selected entities (i.e. genes) are visually connected. This allows Caleydo to seamlessly integrate interactive gene expression visualization with cross-database pathway exploration.
