Dr. Alark Joshi joined the faculty at Boise State University in 2011, after serving as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Yale University. His work has led to novel visualization techniques in fields as diverse as computational fluid dynamics, atmospheric physics, medical imaging and cell biology. Through the illustration-inspired visualization techniques that he developed, atmospheric physicists are able to visualize the time-varying nature of hurricanes more effectively. Some of his most recent work dealt with developing and evaluating the performance of neurosurgeons on novel visualization and interaction techniques. Dr. Joshi received his Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, his M.S. in Computer Science from the Stony Brook University and his B.S. degree from the University of Pune, India. He owes his interest in medical visualization to stints at Vital Images Inc. and Siemens Corporate Research.
