Otmar Scherzer has been featured in “scilog” – the magazine of the Austrian Science Fund FWF – with a video presentation encompassing the SFB Tomography Across the Scales.
Eleventh Internal SFB Meeting
From June 19 to 22, 2022, for the first time new and old members of the SFB project “Tomography Across the Scales” met each other in person in Roßleithen(Upper Austria). Interesting talks about the already accomplished and the possible future work helped the new members to get to know the various fields of research and initiated discussions about additional collaborations within the SFB project.
A hiking trip up to the Wurbauerkogel concluded this well organized event.
Simon Hubmer Receives the EAIP Young Scientist Award
Every two years the Eurasian Association on Inverse Problems (EAIP) awards scientists under the age of forty for particular merits in inverse problems analysis and its applications.
We are proud to announce that Simon Hubmer has received this award in 2022.
With this, he follows Peter Elbau, who has received the award previously in 2020.
@the Austrian Science Festival
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
ECMI 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.
