Description
Leader of the group Computational Imaging: Tristan van Leeuwen.
Our research group is developing the next generation of 3D imaging – enabling scientists to look further into objects of all kinds. Based on mathematics, algorithms and numerical solution techniques, our approach is interdisciplinary, combining aspects of mathematics, computer science and physics. We pride ourselves on the versatility of our solutions, and our algorithms can be applied to a wide range of imaging in science, medicine and industry. In Computational Imaging, it’s our goal to constantly push the boundaries of research. By combining advanced image acquisition, parameter estimation, and discrete tomography algorithms for example, we are able to develop workflows for 3D electron microscopy at atomic resolution.

CWI podcast: How the FleX-ray scanner reveals art secrets
The science podcast "How CWI's FleX-ray scanner reveals art secrets" is now online. CWI PhD candidate Francien Bossema (CI) and Rijksmuseum professor Erma Hermens talk to science journalist Bennie Mols about our special scanner.

CT scan by CWI reveals hidden double-panel painting from Rubens studio
CT scans of a Rijksmuseum panel painting in CWI’s FleX-ray laboratory have revealed a surprising insight: it turns out it was not painted on oak, as was always assumed, but on tropical wood.

IMPACT4ART: the interplay between scientists, art historians, conservators and the general public
The wooden sculpture shown in the green oval is surrounded by mystery: How old is this wooden sculpture? Where and by whom was it made? Mathematics and computer science can help to answer such questions.

Insight in Wood: dating wooden objects with 3D CT imaging
Together with the Rijksmuseum, researchers of CIW's Computational Imaging group investigate art objects with the help of our state of the art FleX-ray scanner. PhD student Francien Bossema explains how they proceed.

The second annual meeting of the Dutch Inverse Problems Community will take place on 10-11 November 2022 in conference center de Werelt, Lunteren. A summary of last year’s event can be read here.
Registration
The registration is now open. Registration fees are expected to be around EUR 225 for 2-day attendance (including lunch, diner, and hotel), and EUR 50 for 1-day attendance for EUR 50 (including lunch). You will receive additional confirmation about the exact fees and payment details in september.
Preliminary program
Thursday November 10
Masterclasses on High Performance Computing and Inverse Problem Theory (preliminary abstracts are included below). The masterclasses will take in place in parallel and aim to give an in-depth overview and hands-on experience on the topic.
Friday November 11
Scientific talks, highlighting recent developments in Inverse Problems from a mathematical and practical point of view. The talks are by invitation, and selected to give a balanced perspective on theory and applications of inverse problems from both junior and senior researchers.
