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

CAMERAVis Plug-in: Integrated Display of Both Size and Color through Menu (49 combinations currently available)
^ - - This image displays salinity as color and water depth as size, illustrated by the menu check-marks - - ^
CAMERAVis Plug-in: Added 3 Color Parameters (now utilizing over 10 colors)
CAMERAVis Plug-in: Implemented 3 Shape Parameters (280 different displays currently available)
