Biographical Sketch

Gunther Weber is a Research Scientists in LBNL's Computational Research Division and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis. His research interests include computer graphics, scientific visualization, data analysis, topology-based data analysis methods, parallelization of visualization algorithms, hierarchical data representation methods, and bioinformatics. Prior to joining the NERSC Analytics team and the LBNL Visualization group, Gunther worked first as a postdoctoral scholar and later as a Project Scientist at the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization at UC Davis working on visualization of three-dimensional gene expression data (with researchers of LBNL's Genomics and Life Sciences divisions), topology-based exploration of scalar data, and visualization of brain imaging data and experimental earthquake data. Gunther earned his Ph.D. in computer science, with a concentration on graphics and visualization, from the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany.
