GW4 Imaging sandpit in Exeter, 22 January

GW4 Imaging sandpit in Exeter, 22 January

Do you have an imaging-related research challenge you think others could help solve?

Have you developed new imaging analysis approaches and analysis techniques but need a partner from another discipline to find the perfect application?

The GW4 Imaging Network is holding a saReedHallndpit event on Thursday 22 January in the upper lounge of Reed Hall on the Streatham campus of the University of Exeter. The concept is to hold a day of talks and discussion themed on scientific imaging and the grand research challenges of the GW4 group. The intended outcomes are new cross-GW4, cross-disciplinary collaborations that will generate GW4 Accelerator funding and external grant applications.

The following speakers are giving short presentations to set challenges and stimulate discussion:
