Introduction
Visualization enables understanding and provides insight into scientific data to spark curiosity, intuition, and discovery. KAUST Visualization Core Laboratory (KVL) advances the KAUST mission by catalyzing innovation and collaborative research. We collaborate with domain researchers to accelerate discoveries through large-data visualization, machine learning, and data science. We support key research investments, such as the EM microscopes and the Shaheen supercomputer, using the latest methodologies to explore and analyze the extreme amounts of data generated.
