The Data Analytics and Visualization group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center is a multidisciplinary team focused on creating high impact images, movies, and interactive data displays.
The group is formed by physicis, computer, and data scientists, graphic artists, and interaction designers. This mixture allows us, as a team, to produce beautiful and appealing, as well as scientifically correct and relevant visualizations.
We work with data from a wide variety of fields, from climate data to molecular dynamics, social simulations, material sciences, or geophysics, among others.
We believe in the power of visual communication to convey complex information. Our goal is to provide scientists with the best tools and strategies to aid them in the visual exploration of their data, and to create compelling visualizations to communicate their research to their peers and to society.
Our research areas:
We develop visual strategies to support scientists in disseminating their research with the most appropriate solution for each data set and story.
We understand quantitative information better by interacting with it. Requesting, processing, and communicating information becomes an efficient tool when it is done in an intuitive and simple way, with a good user experience.
We work on applying algorithmic tools to analyze and study large volumes of data, extracting knowledge from complex sources, and helping make informed decisions in industrial settings.
We encourage and foster collaborations with artists because we strongly believe that art, science and technology complement each other to explore and learn without limits.
Making cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable has become a global priority. We use data to study the interactions that take place in cities: between their inhabitants and with their environment.
