Overview
In the intricate landscape of data science, the ability to visualize data is not just an advantage—it's essential. This workshop is tailored to guide participants through the fundamental principles of data visualization, leveraging some of the most popular libraries in the field: matplotlib, seaborn, plotly dash, and streamlit.
The workshop promises an insightful blend of theory and practice, ensuring attendees can both comprehend and craft meaningful visual representations of data. Backed by the superior resources of the KAUST Visualization Core Lab, participants will experience a mix of comprehensive lectures and interactive sessions.
For those keen to master the art of turning raw data into insightful plots and dynamic dashboards, this workshop provides an ideal entry point.
Who Should Attend?
The target audience for this workshop are KAUST users who are looking for a new scientific visualization solution and have little or no experience with VisIt or scientific visualization in general.
