Project Description: The recently established CERI Visualization Lab is currently looking for undergraduate students to work on projects related with the visualization of tectonic and earthquake processes. We are looking for students with enthusiasm about Science and Discovery and with interest in modern visualization technologies. The proposed project includes the use of 3D Printing and Virtual Reality (and/or Augmented Reality) for the representation of complex fault systems, earthquake rupture, seismic sequences, subduction zones and many other geophysical processes. The experience in our Lab combines the results from advanced earthquake research with innovative visualization technologies. The lab schedule will be arranged based on the advisor's availability and the student schedule.

Requirements for Student Applicants:

Useful skills:

MATLAB programming and/or other languages (e.g. Python)
Visualization - Photo editing software (e.g. Paraview, Photoshop, Gimp or equivalent)
AR/VR related software (e.g. Unity or similar)

Please note: Students are not expected to have advanced expertise on the above topics. Basic knowledge and familiarity will be sufficient.
