Understanding Users to Optimise 3D Experiences
Silvia Rossi, is a postdoctoral researcher in the Distributed and Interactive Systems (DIS) group at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). “With immersive media, you are the director, the viewer is the one that is deciding where to put the focus. This interaction is what makes this technology very fascinating, but at the same time makes it challenging.” Read the full story
Better statistics leads to better research
“The best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone’s backyard.” The quote from the eminent mathematician, John Tukey, sums up Judith ter Schure’s love of statistics. Researchers, regardless of their field of work, need statisticians to help them unlock the meaning of their data. Read the full story
Bringing Quantum Computers Closer to Reality
One of Stacey Jeffery's more ambitious goals is to have her algorithms run on actual quantum computers. “If I have a big breakthrough and discover that with a really small amount of memory we can actually solve important problems, then it’s more likely that the algorithms will run in the next few years. But it also depends a lot on how the actual quantum computers progress,” she says. Read the full story.
Futureproofing computer security
CWI researcher Lisa Kohl: “Cryptography is the perfect way to combine my passion for mathematics with my desire to contribute to a bigger purpose and do something useful. There are many questions that are yet to be solved, and it’s a very exciting research area.” Read the full story.
