Swansea University is pleased to announce a fully funded EPSRC DTP Computer Science PhD scholarship to international students. The scholarship covers the full cost of tuition fees and an annual stipend of ยฃ16,062.
Why study at Swansea University
Swansea Universityย is aย publicย research universityย located inย Swansea,ย Wales, United Kingdom. It was chartered asย University College of Swanseaย in 1920,ย as the fourth college of theย University of Wales. In 1996, it changed its name to theย University of Wales Swanseaย following structural changes within the University of Wales. The title of Swansea University was formally adopted on 1 September 2007 when the University of Wales became a non-membership confederal institution and the former members became universities in their own right.

It is theย third largest university in Walesย in terms of number of students. It currently offers about 330 undergraduate courses and 120 post-graduate courses to 20,375 undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Project description
Dynamic data sets where each element of the data has its own individual timestamp has become more prevalent. Algorithms for drawing temporal networks within the space-time cube (2D + t) have been devised to allow dynamic graphs to be visualised in an event-based way. However, three-dimensional representations of non-spatial information are difficult to navigate. Therefore, interactive systems are necessary to fully understand the graph structure and how it evolves over time.
The student will investigate perceptually effective ways for dividing and visualising the space-time cube. The project will start by visualising the contents of this space-time cube with an embedded network drawn with an event-based dynamic graph drawing algorithm. The visualisation methods in this case will focus on visualising the already present structure within the drawing which takes into account both spatial position and time simultaneously. Then, we will explore methods that are able to draw the dynamic graph on demand in the space time cube steered by the user.
