Laboratory for Computation and Visualization in Mathematics and Mechanics ( Prof. J. Maddocks )

The group is currently involved in the following research activities:

• Mathematical modelling of the structural properties of DNA molecules

• Development of Numerical and Visualization Techniques for the interactive steering of parameter continuation computations

• The Global Curvature of a Space Curve

The first area forms by far the largest part of our activities. The continuation and visualization software that is being developed in the second project is an independent project, although it is used in part of our work on modelling DNA, and the demands of the DNA application, guide the development of the software. The third area has anecdotally emerged from discussing ideal shapes of knots with Andrzej Stasiak and Jacques Dubochet (University of Lausanne).
