Problem
Analyzing global scientific influence across massive citation topologies requires computing iterative graph algorithms over hundreds of millions of nodes and billions of edges, which exceeds single-node memory and compute capabilities.
Approach
Engineered a distributed PageRank processing pipeline operating over 112 million research papers and 2.5 billion citation edges. Standardized node embeddings and projected the high-dimensional topology into a continuous 3D coordinate space rendered via custom WebGL/GLSL shaders.
Result
Enabled real-time, interactive exploration of global academic literature clusters at 60 FPS directly in the browser, providing instant visual citation traversal across massive datasets.
