Indo-Swedish joint network project
Robust topological methods for analysis of dynamic large-scale data for modern material design
This is an ongoing collaboration between Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Linköping University, Sweden with the goal to develop methods for topological feature extraction, tracking, and comparison for large scale dynamic data from material imaging and molecular simulations integrated in a visual analysis pipeline that aids domain scientists in analyzing their data. This project is funded jointly by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) and the Department of Science and Technology, India under a joint network grant VR 2018-07085 and DST/INT/SWD/VR/P-02/2019.
