Lovell Lecture Live stream - Exploring the universe with the SKA Observatory
Curious about the ground-breaking discoveries made at one of the world’s top observatories? Fresh from a milestone announcement (coming soon!), join Prof. Philip Diamond CBE, Director-General of the SKA Observatory (SKAO), to learn how their global radio telescopes will transform our understanding of the Universe. This bonus Lovell Lecture is...
Training Course on Advanced Scripting and Batching of Tomographic Datasets
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke...
Introduction to MEC Researcher to Innovator (R2I) programme
An exciting opportunity for researchers to develop their innovative thinking and awareness of creating and developing impact. R2I is a bespoke entrepreneurship training programme for final-year PhD students, PDRAs and early-career researchers from across all faculties with ambitions to develop commercial ventures or to create impact from their...
Lovell Lecture - Planetary Defence: Preventing Asteroid impacts
A live stream of Professor Alan Fitzsimmons’s lecture about asteroid 2024 YRA and the critical importance of planetary defence. Discover how scientists track cosmic threats and the ways they are preparing to defend our planet.
Training Course on In situ experiments and Digital Volume Correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
Lovell Lecture: The Ingredients for life - OSIRIS-REx mission update
What can the Asteroid Bennu reveal about the early days of the Solar System? Join Dr Sarah Crowther for insights into the first published results from NASA's OSIRIS- REx misson - one of the most exciting space explorations of our time. This will be a live stream.
Training Course on Visualisation & quantification of tomographic datasets
A 2 day in person training course covering theory and computer-based practical works using the Thermo Scientific™ Amira-Avizo Software. Lab/synchrotron X-ray tomography has emerged as one of the most important techniques for research in a wide range of applications including healthcare, energy, food and geology. Advances in the quality of X-ray...
