On May 20, 2022 Ekaterina Sherina, Simon Hubmer, and Axel Kittenberger presented the SFB Tomography Across the Scales at the Austrian Science Festival: “Lange Nacht der Forschung“. To make tomography tangible we showcased our “optical DIY tomograph” described in Computed Origami Tomography.
SIAM Recognizes Gabriele Steidl’s Distinguished Work
Gabriele Steidl (PI of Sub-project Motion Detection in Tomography and Microscopy) became SIAM Fellow 2022.
She is recognized for her outstanding contributions to computational harmonic analysis and imaging sciences.
Additionally she became Editor in Chief of SIAM Imaging on January 1, 2022.
PhD position at RICAM
Vacancy: New PhD position
The Vienna International School of Earth and Space Sciences (VISESS) has a vacancy for a fully funded PhD position within the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy at the University of Vienna.
This PhD position is part of our interdisciplinary SFB project with the title “Interdisciplinary Advances in Extragalactic Archaeology” . Please find more information here.
PhD defence: Magdalena Schneider
We are happy to announce that Magdalena Schneider, PhD student in Sub-project Superresolution Microscopy, defended successfully her PhD thesis on 20th of October, 2021.
Magdalena was a PhD student under the supervision of Gerhard Schütz, principal investigator of Sub-project Superresolution Microscopy, at the Institute of Applied Physics at the TU Wien. Her thesis title is “Statistical analysis of biomolecular clustering and oligomerization” and can be found here.
Currently, she is working as a postdoctoral researcher in the SFB.
Prolongation of the SFB “Tomography Across the Scales”
We are more than happy to announce that the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) decided to extend the duration of the Special Research Program “Tomography Across the Scales” for a second funding period, until February 2026.
All involved sub-projects have been granted and our team will grow with the addition of Glenn van de Ven’s group (University of Vienna) and Gabriele Steidl’s group (TU Berlin – needs additional approval from DFG).
New open positions will be advertised soon!
ESI Workshop: Tomographic Reconstructions and their Startling Applications
The online Workshop at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) has just started. This is a two-weeks event with more than 50 international researchers participating.
In the first week (March, 15th – 18th), we have mainly talks from applied mathematicians presenting results on tomographic reconstructions while the second week (March, 23th – 25th) covers the practical applications of such methods in astronomy and medical imaging. See the full program here.
Registration is free. You just have to contact Peter Elbau.
How mathematics provide a sharper view into the cosmos
Women in Physics: Monika Ritsch-Marte, from Theory to Applied Optics
Workshop: “Tomographic Reconstructions and their Startling Applications”
We are inviting to the Workshop “Tomographic Reconstructions and their Startling Applications” at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) from March 15 until March 26. Due to the current restrictions, the conference will be held as an online event.
The workshop is organized within this SFB research program and is centered around the mathematical and experimental problems related to the applications studied in this project, involving adaptive optics, optical coherence tomography, photoacoustics, and superresolution imaging.
