Speaker: Bohak, Ciril (University of Ljubljana)
Abstract:
In my talk, I will share the details of my latest research in visualizing microscopic biological structures at the atomistic level. First, I will introduce the acquisition and processing pipeline and discuss our work on the reconstruction, segmentation, and real-time data visualization stages. I will discuss our work on the differentiability of the presented pipeline and its impact. Afterward, I will present our work on procedural rule-based modeling of the mesoscale molecular models, such as proteins, viruses, and cellular organelles, and their real-time visualization. I will also discuss the automatic generation of documentaries (molecumentaries) on such environments and their implementation in VR and AR with conversational extensions. I will conclude my talk by presenting our work on the physicalization (physical visualization) of membrane-bounded biological structures as assemblable puzzles intended for mass production and outreach.
