Tobias Rau, M.Sc.

My research focuses on hybrid analysis on desktop and in augmented reality for chemical structure simulations (see charpack.github.io(opens in new tab)). This project is part of the Cluster of Excellence EXC 2075 "Data-Integrated Simulation Science (SimTech)"(opens in new tab) of the University of Stuttgart and a joint effort of the Institute for Theoretical Chemistry(opens in new tab) and the Visualization Research Center (VISUS)(opens in new tab).
