The Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute has established itself as a leader in engineering and research in the areas of scientific computing, scientific visualization, and imaging. The overarching research goal of the SCI Institute is to create new scientific computing techniques, tools, and systems with which to solve problems affecting various aspects of human life. The focus of the Institute has been largely in medicine, but the group has also solved computational and imaging problems in other application areas such as geophysics, chemical engineering, molecular dynamics, aerospace fluid mechanics, combustion, and atmospheric dispersion.
This short film is a visual overview of current research at the SCI Institute. The production was based on an interview with Chris Johnson, the Director of SCI and professor of Computer Science at the University of Utah. Chris takes you on a visionary journey through the exciting territory of High Performance Computing, Science and Visualization. He reveals how Visualization tools are opening new worlds to scientists, and illustrates how top Computer Scientists, Neurosurgeons and Physicists are working together to solve problems that could not have been solved before. The golden age of science is now upon us. Follow Chris and the SCI Institute toward new discoveries in this exciting interview. |
