About Me
I am a second year UCSD Bioengineering student and a Calit2 Summer Undergraduate Research Scholar working with Jürgen Schulze.
I enjoy the beach, soccer, and my 'spectrum'.
You can usually find me on the 6th floor open space of Atkinson Hall.
I can be contacted at serichardson@ucsd.edu or 858-539-9950.
Project
After the success of the Human Genome Project, J. Craig Venter launched the Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) Expedition to collect microbes and analyze their DNA sequences. Along with the microbial data, researchers also collected various metadata (location, depth, microbe size, temperature, salinity, pH, DO). This project will create a 3D visulazation of this metadata through the use of visualization technology. The display can then be used by researchers as a visually immersive way to look for particularly interesting data sites or relations between sites, with the ultimate goal of finding microbes with DNA that produce useful proteins.
---This is the map of the GOS Expedition, indicating sample points. I am working on the visualization of metadata from the red/yellow points---
Progress
Updated: July 19, 9:45
Week 1
Researched available information on GOS/CAMERA and related visualization
Found available GOS Metadata from CAMERA site.
---This Image shows the text-file containing the GOS Metadata---
Drafted initial ideas for visualization with the OssimPlanet software
Met with Paul Gilna to discuss ideas for and focus of the project
Began reading up on C++ programming language
Week 2
Continued reading about C++ programming language
Attended "How to Conduct Research" by Prof. Trey Ideker as a part of the Calit2 Scholars Colloquia Program
Began working on CAMERAVis plug-in for OpenCOVER (Progress noted as CAMERAVis Plug-in:)
CAMERAVis Plug-in: Parsed GOS data file, Converted latitude and longitude to cartesian coordinates
Attended "How to Present Research" by Martha Stacklin
CAMERAVis Plug-in: Rendered data points on a sphere (yay!)
---This image shows the initial display of the globe and the GOS datapoints---
CAMERAVis Plug-in: Wrote code representing variations in temperature/salinity as variations in the sphere's color/shape (values are accurate but opencover does not illustrate this)
Created first draft of "Research Presentation I" Power Point
Week 3
Completed "Research Presentation I" Power Point
Prepared and Presented "Research Presentation I" Speech ("Yellow Stickers")
CAMERAVis Plug-in: Rendered code varying parameters on OpenCover
---This image shows data points with temperature as color and salinity as size---
