Harsh Bhatia
I am a third year PhD student at the School of Computing, University of Utah. I am working under the guidance of Dr. Valerio Pascucci at the SCI Institute and Dr. Peer-Timo Bremer, at the LLNL.
I was recently awarded the prestigious Lawrence Scholarship under the Livermore Scholar Program by LLNL (starting Jan 2012), that will fnd my research for the rest of my PhD.
My current work involves topological analysis of vector fields. I am working on developing a discrete representation of vectorfield data which can enable us quantify, visualize and analyze the error or uncertainty in data. I am also working towards understanding the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition of vectorfields and analyzing the orthogonality of the decomposition with respect to its boundary conditions.
A gamut of areas fascinate me. Given some spare time from my current work and responsibilities, I would like to be involved in Mathematical Modeling & Simulation, Scientific Visualization, Probability Theory & Stochastic Processes, Markov Models & Queueing Theory, Computational Geometry, & Algorithms.
