Benjamin Behrendt was awarded with the first place for the Dirk Bartz Price at the virtual 2021 EuroVIS conference. His work on visual exploration of cerebral blood flow data allows for the interactive selection and generation of flow features to support treatment decisions for physicians.
We are pleased to announce that our colleague Monique Meuschke has been awarded the Reichart Prize 2021.
The Reichart Prize is awarded annually to excellent young researchers with an indisciplinary focus.
This year, Monique Meuschke was able to prevail against 20 other applicants with her research focus on cerebral aneurysms.
We are happy that Sarah Mittenentzwei joined our team. She will be primarily working with Monique Meuschke and advance our research in visual analytics applied to medical data and narrative visualization.
We are happy that three submissions of our group were accepted at EuroVis this year:
Gabriel Mistelbauer et al.: Implicit Modeling of Patient-Specific Aortic Dissections with Elliptic Fourier Descriptors
Benedikt Mayer et al.: VEHICLE: Validation and Exploration of the Hierarchical Integration of Conflict Event Data
Pepe Eulzer, Monique Meuschke et al: Visualizing Carotid Blood Flow Simulations for Stroke Prevention
We contributed to the first Bio+Med+Vis Spring School:
Gabriel Mistelbauer
“Visualization of Vascular Structures”
Bernhard Preim
“A Critical Analysis of the Evaluation Practice in Medical Visualization”

A team lead by Dr. Benjamin Behrendt will be awarded a price at the Dirk Bartz competition, which will be presented at this year’s EuroVis conference. Their contribution describes an explorative system for the visualization of intracranial blood flow and is a joint project between the University of Magdeburg and the Linköping University in Sweden.
Our former staff member Kai Lawonn was selected for the the prestigeous Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Price from the German Research Council. Accross all scientific disciplines, only 10 scientist receive this award.
We are happy that our first papers are accepted for the IEEE VR conference:
Shiva Alemzadeh successfully defended her Phd thesis entitled „Visual Analytics of Epidemiological and Multi-Omics Data“. As a result of the current restrictions, the defense was held via video conference.
Lena Spitz was awarded with the Rudolf-Kruse-Price 2020. This award is given annually by the faculty to a student for the best student scholarly publication. Lena submitted her JCARS Paper: Combining Visual Analytics and Case-Based Reasoning for Rupture Risk Assessment of Intracranial Aneurysms, Lena Spitz, Uli Niemann, Oliver Beuing, Belal Neyazi, Erol Sandalcioglu, Bernhard Preim and Sylvia Saalfeld, International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery, 15(9), p. 1525-1535, 2020. which is based on her bachelor thesis that was supervised by Sylvia Saalfeld and Bernhard Preim. Congratulations!
