Computer Graphics and Visualization Concentration (CGV)

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Irvine offers a concentration in Computer Graphics and Visualization (CGV).

The concentration in Computer Graphics and Visualization (CGV) provides students with a solid base in the design, development and evaluation of scientific and information visualization systems. Both hardware and software aspects are addressed with a particular focus on the development of algorithms and techniques for the representation of complex scientific data.

The main research activities of the faculty in this concentration are in the fields of computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer-aided geometric design, imaging, image processing, and virtual reality. Application areas include computational physics, computational chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, computational and molecular biology, medical and biomedical imaging, civil and environmental engineering, photorealistic rendering, animation, remote sensing, industrial design, and media and arts.

Please check the General Catalogue for general degree requirements.
