Cail Daley Showcases Research at Visualizing Knowledge Exhibition

2017 May 22

Cail Daley was one of several students to present a project at Wesleyan's first student visual knowledge and data visualization exhibition on May 12. Students were asked to showcase how they conveyed or established information in a mainly non-verbal form.

Daley's project was titled, “Orbital Motion of Gas in Planetary System HD 100546.” He presented an animation that shows the orbital velocity of matter around a star changing depending on its distance from the star. If close to the star, matter is predicted to move faster, while lower orbital velocities are expected at a larger radii.

The project won third prize.
