Monash e-Research Center is hosting OzVis 2009, the major workshop for visualization practitioners and researchers from across Australia and New Zealand.

This workshop will provide an occasion for participants to present research outcomes, share innovative ideas, publicize work and meet colleagues. It will be highly multidisciplinary, with participants from fields such as mathematics, geoscience, architecture, biology, medicine and astronomy presenting alongside computer graphics and visualization experts.

We are pleased to announce the keynote speaker will be Rob Lewis, foundation chair of X-ray and Synchrotron Physics at Monash University and the Director of the Monash Center for Synchrotron Science.

There will also be a joint session on 3D Bioimaging in conjunction with the Live Cell Imaging Workshop organized by Monash Micro Imaging. This session will feature a keynote presentation by Marius Messerli, (CEO of Bitplane which developed the Imaris toolbox) and other speakers who utilize 3D visualization and analysis for micro imaging datasets. To propose a presentation, please submit an abstract and images by 1 November, 2009.
