Research
At this time we have six projects in various stages of development. These projects span several areas of research: from exploratory visualization in Space-Time Information Systems, to spatio-temporal statistics for disease surveillance, to image processing, to models of data and models of process. We have several prototype creation projects (phase I) and a few projects where we verified the concept and are producing commercial-grade software (phase II). To support this research and software development, we have garnered several grants from the National Institutes of Health and are a subcontractor on a grant to the University of Michigan.
