Visual Data Analysis research group at KU Leuven (University of Leuven) is part of the department of Biosystems at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering. The group focusses on complex data exploration in the domain of biological and agricultural sciences,
through the use of visual analytics and topological data analysis. The group is currently looking for a dynamic and highly motivated PhD student.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">

and graphs - both static and dynamic - play an important role in data science. Not only can they represent primary relational data (e.g. gene interactions) but many algorithms generate networks either as intermediate or final output (e.g. DBSCAN clustering
and topological data analysis). In particular, these data structures are critical when investigating (biological and other) systems as a whole.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">

can quantitatively compare networks at different resolutions, and distinguish between changes in topology and changes in characteristics of the nodes and links themselves. Although many measures exist to do so (including degree, closeness, betweenness, etc),
they mainly focus on the amount of difference but fall short in giving real insight in the quality of that difference. We want to focus on this qualitative understanding of networks rather than only a quantitative one.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">
