Two exciting funded PhD opportunities supported by FutureHuman based at University of Kent now open. Both for a Sept 2023 start. More details on each below.... #phd #Kent #Research #PhDposition

Hi Southeastern The journey planner doesn't seem to understand trains joined together at Ashford, e.g. a search for Canterbury to London CX doesn't show direct trains. The train announcements are also wrong, saying the trains terminate at Ashford which is confusing people.

I have a PhD project (Deadline 5th March), eligible for the EPSRC studentships we have at Kent. If you're interested in building new fibre-based imaging systems for applications in medicine/bioscience, please get in touch. #phd findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

Save the date for the 7th Stephen Gray Lecture University of Kent with Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell on "Astronomy and Poetry". Dame Jocelyn will select about half a dozen of these poems, give the scientific background and seek volunteer readers. Register: tinyurl.com/yckax2av

If you use Python/PyQT for your imaging GUIs, we've released ImageDisplayQT, our in-house widget for image display, with status bar, ROI, zoom & overlays. pip install ImageDisplayQT docs: lnkd.in/dWvmT3yx git: github.com/MikeHughesKent… School of Physics and Astronomy Applied Optics Group

I have a funded internship available for a University of Kent undergrad to work in the Applied Optics Group for 5 weeks on holographic microscopy this summer. Details here: research.kent.ac.uk/applied-optics…

PhD available with Manuel Marques in Applied Optics Group, a great late-breaking opportunity to be there for the start of a new lab!

Pre-print evaluating PyFibreBundle python package for real-time fibre bundle image processing (core removal, mosaicing, resolution enhancement) has just gone up: doi.org/10.1364/optica… Details on PyFibreBundle are at: pyfibrebundle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ @optica School of Physics and Astronomy Applied Optics Group

Paper out in Applied Optics describing and validating the PyFibreBundle python package for working with fibre bundle imaging. doi.org/10.1364/AO.503… #endoscopy #endomicroscopy #holographicmicroscopy @aogkent School of Physics and Astronomy Optica Publishing Group

Pre-print of work with Callum McCall @aogkent School of Physics and Astronomy to enhance resolution in fibre bundle inline holographic microscopy: preprints.opticaopen.org/articles/prepr… Data and code: figshare.com/articles/datas… Very interested in talking to anyone about potential applications.

EPSRC PhD position at Kent in the Applied Optics Group, suitable for grads in physics, engineering, etc. New technologies for stain-free endomicroscopy, with focus on practical/low-cost solutions. Deadline: 3rd March research.kent.ac.uk/applied-optics… School of Physics and Astronomy Applied Optics Group @epsrc

We're excited to share we'll be joining Space East, the rapidly growing cluster group for the space sector in the East of England 🚀 We will add to Space East’s expertise and studies in space and satellite technology to support regional agriculture and food industries with

Applied Optics Group University of Kent research at RMS #elmi2024 - enjoying the conference so far!

A python package for working with LP modes from step index fibres has been released, including simulation of beam coupling and propagation. There is also a GUI for quickly visualising and exporting modes. Download at github.com/MikeHughesKent… or 'pip install lpmodes'.

The framework we developed for quickly building python-based imaging GUIs in the lab is now released (it was always open source but not exactly fully documented). Github (github.com/MikeHughesKent…) or pip install cas_gui Documentation here: cas-gui.readthedocs.io

If you're struggling to build performant GUIs for imaging system development in Python, this may be helpful, we've used this as the basis for GUIs for endomicroscopes, holographic microscopes and OCT (No more Labview!).
