Monique Meuschke earned her doctoral degree from the University of Magdeburg, Germany, in 2019, with a thesis titled “Visualization, Classification, and Interaction for Risk Analysis and Treatment Planning of Cerebral Aneurysms.” She also holds an MS in Computational Visualistics from the same university. After pursuing postdoctoral work at the University of Wuppertal and the University of Jena, she returned to the University of Magdeburg, where she currently works as a senior researcher, focusing on narrative medical visualization and user experience design to improve health literacy.
She has made significant contributions to the visual exploration of simulated and measured blood flow, introducing innovative methods for automatically identifying and categorizing flow characteristics, facilitating reporting and communication of results, and visualizing blood flow in conjunction with vessel wall deformation. This work aims to support CFD researchers as well as medical researchers. Recently, she extended the analysis of individual datasets to groups of patients or healthy participants and even supported the comparison on a group level.
Monique Meuschke has an outstanding publication record and has published many high-impact papers in top journals and conferences. Furthermore, her endeavors have led to the development of various freely accessible software systems, such as tools for visualizing patient-specific aneurysm data (2021), facilitating comparative analysis of medical flow data (2023), and software designed for the streamlined creation of perception-based user studies (2020). This allowed her to create real impact among medical doctors.
Through her outstanding research, Monique Meuschke is a perfect example of a successful early career researcher. EuroVis is very pleased to announce her as the winner of the EuroVis Early Career Researcher Award 2024, in recognition of her outstanding contributions in medical visualization, storytelling, and visual blood flow analysis.
