STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot – U.K.

I am a first year PhD student with the University of Manchester studying data mining and visualisation of particle physics datasets. I am currently based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UK working between the CMS group and e-Science Scientific Applications Group. The visualisation techniques I am investigating include parallel coordinates and the grand tour. The aim of the project is to create a program which is compatible with ROOT that will implement these techniques. The program is being written in C++ for Linux based systems but will be developed to run on other systems as well.
