Last week Prof. Dr. Tom Bultreys and Sharon Ellman were invited to teach about micro-CT imaging and image analysis at the winter school on Digital Environmental Geosciences Université d'Orléans on 16 and 17 January.

Check out our new publication on imaging biofilms in 3D with micro-computed tomography sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. It is the result of a fruitful interdisciplinary collaboration between multiple research groups and universities. PProGRess UGent CMET @Contrast_team UGent Wetenschappen

🚀 We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher! The position is part of the ERC Starting Grant FLOWSCOPY aimed at visualizing fluid flow in porous materials by developing X-ray velocimetry methods. For more information see: ugent.be/en/work/scient…

It was great working together with the teams from Heriot-Watt IGE & TU Delft Civil Engineering and Geosciences on the role of small-scale rock heterogeneities on subsurface hydrogen storage. 🤲 #hydrogen #EnergyTransition Please check out the #openaccess paper below

Last week Afsar Muhammad presented his work on the core structure of lightweight gypsum materials during the Workshop on Advanced X-ray characterization technologies in Earth Sciences hosted by ZAG in collaboration with Unict, CNR-IGAG and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste
