The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded the University of Notre Dame DU Lac $700,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop a framework for visualization synthesis based on Gaussian splatting that enables faster, more interactive exploration of complex three-dimensional scientific datasets such as weather systems, fluid flows, medical scans, and engineering simulations. The research investigates four interconnected directions: editable Gaussian representations for inverse and interactive volume rendering; deformable Gaussian models for segmentation and feature tracking in time-varying scientific data; textured Gaussian representations for expressive visual editing and stylization of volumetric scenes; and large language model agents supporting natural language interaction with scientific visualizations. By enabling machine learning models to generate visual representations directly without repeatedly processing original data, the project aims to accelerate scientific discovery, broaden participation in data-intensive research, and improve communication of scientific results to students, educators, and the public. Educational activities include curriculum development, student training, outreach to K-12 educators, dissemination of open-source software, and public-facing visualization experiences to prepare the next generation of the artificial intelligence and scientific computing workforce. Performance occurs at Notre Dame, Indiana, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2030. The award is classified as a Project Grant, with $700,000 obligated at the time of award.
