Tobias Rau, M.Sc.

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