International Workshop Molecular Modeling an Simulation: Natural Science meets Engineering

Early this week I was participating at the workshop Molecular Modeling and Simulation. I spent these two days with physicists, chemists and engineering scientists. Being a computer scientist and visualization researcher I felt a bit exotic there, but I found it very exciting to see the current state of the art of these research fields. And, after giving my presentation I got very positive feedback that my current work was also very interesting for the audience.

Visualization research is great. You can do so many things, and you should do so many things. The only problem is that often huge technical challenges must be overcome before you can work on the actual research question. A lot of effort, work and time, is thus infested in parts of the software, which seem not to do anything good for you scientific career. This is kind of frustrating sometimes.
