Jurgen P. Schulze "Dr. Schulze's research focus is on making interactive 3D visualization systems easier to use. This includes both the visual display of the data, and input paradigms. Dr. Schulze uses high-end clustered graphics systems, such as virtual reality CAVEs to immerse the user in the data, and he uses 3D tracked input devices and more recently smart phones and tablets to interact with the virtual reality system. Dr. Schulze is the director of the Immersive Visualization Laboratory (IVL) at UC San Diego's Qualcomm Institute, the San Diego division of Calit2. In the CSE Department, Dr. Schulze teaches CSE 167 (Introduction to Computer Graphics) and CSE 165 (3D User Interfaces) and runs independent study projects in his laboratory at the Qualcomm Institute."

I met Tahir Bhatti during my Ornish Lifestyle Medicine transformation at Jacobs Medical Center UCSD. Tahir would sub into our support group whenever Ozzie Gontang was traveling. He is a great teacher. "Holistic Healers, Wellness Coaches, and Life-partners, Tahir Bhatti & Ayesha Suneja  have spent the last 20 years researching, teaching and guiding others towards mind-body-spirit healing, transpersonal wellness and spiritual growth.   Originally from India and Pakistan, both Ayesha and Tahir were raised in cultures that naturally cultivated spirituality, meditation and holistic healing practices.   Their passion for integrating spirituality into their clinical work led them to further their studies in Eastern philosophy, meditation, soul consciousness and self-realization.   Due to their exposure to ancient Eastern philosophies at a young age and their extensive training in Western Medicine & Psychology, their eclectic studies are balanced in the Sciences and the Ancient Truths.     By integrating both philosophies Tahir and Ayesha have created a blend of Eastern and Western Coaching Practices that is truly unique."
