About me

Hello, my name is Guoning Chen. I have started a Postdoctoral position at Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) institute at the University of Utah. My mentor is professor Chuck Hansen. At SCI, I am working on two projects. One is to develop efficient techniques for the analysis of toroidal magnetic fields for the SAP (Supplemental Application Partnership) project led by Allen Sanderson. I will be also working on the project for VACET. The detailed of this project is not known yet, but I bet it will be really cutting-edge.

Before joining SCI, I earned my Ph. D. degree in Computer Science from Oregon State University in 2009. My advisor was Dr. Eugene Zhang. During my PhD work, I had been working on vector field visualization, analysis, and design for scientific visualization and computer graphics applications. I am also interested in tensor field analysis and design, geometry modeling and processing, texture synthesis, and animation.

I received a B.S. degree in Information and Communication in 1999 from Xi'an Jiaotong University and a M.S. degree in Control Theory and Engineering/Computer Application (advisor: professor Taoshen Li) in 2002 from Guangxi University in China. I worked as an instructor in the Computer Science department of Guangxi University from 2002 to 2004.  

Here is a version of my current CV.
