Topological Data Analysis with TTK Training

Slicer

Objectives

  1. Initiation to topological methods for data analysis and visualization
  2. Discover their main concepts and typical applications
  3. Apply these concepts with TTK and ParaView on concrete use cases in fluid dynamics, image processing, quantum chemistry, bioimaging, …

Prerequisites

  •  ParaView basics

Program

  • Concepts (morning)

Meet the instructor

Charles is a Lead Developer Engineer on the Scientific Visualization team at Kitware Europe. He joined Kitware in February 2016.

During the first 3 years, he worked on it PhD on “High performance level-set based topological data analysis” in cooperation with Sorbonne University. During the work, he became one of the main contributor of the TTK library.

After defending his thesis, Charles joined the Scientific Visualization team where he mainly works on maintaining VTK and TTK. His main subjects are high-performance computing, meshing and discrete geometry.

Charles is involved in several reviewing committees: TVCG, LDAV, EGPGV, ISAV.
