Abstract:
The authors present a short dynamic visualization titled “Dancing with Atoms”, produced
in honor of the late Irish mathematical physicist Sheila Tinney (1918--2010), the first Irish-born
and -raised woman to receive a doctorate in the mathematical sciences. The visualization is
inspired by Tinney’s ground-breaking work on crystal lattice vibrations and consists of an
animation showing an atomic lattice structure vibrating based on data derived from a musical
piece performed by her son, award-winning pianist Hugh Tinney. The acoustic signal processing
and visualization were conducted using the new Science Foundation Ireland-funded “Tinney”
high-performance computing cluster in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
