Dr. Xavier Tricoche is a member of the Computer Graphics and Visualization group. His research aims
to create new methods for scalable processing and interactive visual analysis of large datasets. His
main topics of interest include fluid dynamics, granular materials, orbital mechanics, structural
analysis of vector and tensor fields, topology and dynamical systems, medical image analysis,
high-performance computing, and computer graphics. Dr. Tricoche received his PhD in Computer Science
from the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany in 2002. He holds a MSc in Applied Mathematics from
the University of Grenoble in France and an Engineering Degree in Computer Science from ENSIMAG. Dr.
Tricoche has previously taught at the University of Utah and the University of Kaiserslautern.
