Lava Lab

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Laboratory for Advanced Visualization & Applications (LAVA) was founded on January 1, 2014, by Jason Leigh- Director Emeritus of the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The mission of LAVA is to conduct research and development in big data visualization techniques and to apply these techniques in cutting-edge domain science, engineering, and training applications.

LAVA is a core laboratory of the Hawaii Data Science Institute which serves the data-intensive science, engineering, and training needs of UH’s 10 campuses (Mānoa, Hilo, West O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Community College, Honolulu Community College, Kapi‘olani Community College, Kaua‘i Community College, Leeward Community College, Maui Community College, Windward Community College).
