Imaging and visualisation are pervasive as investigative tools in many academic disciplines at the University of Birmingham, including Physical Sciences, Biosciences, Medicine, Environmental Sciences, Business and Arts. As well as being enabling technologies, imaging and visualisation are also research disciplines in their own right. They are inherently multi-disciplinary, drawing on physics to understand the

processes of image formation; on chemistry to develop image-enhancing agents; on mathematics and statistics to model real-world phenomena and to derive principled solutions; on psychology to understand the human visual perception and draw inspiration from natural vision; and on computer science and engineering to construct working algorithms and devices.
 

Birmingham, with its broad range of disciplines and world class research teams, is an exciting place in which theoretical insights and new methodologies and tools are being developed for the advancement of Physical Sciences, Engineering, Biosciences, Medicine, Environment, Business and Arts. The main areas of research and development on the campus are focused on:

• Imaging sciences
• Matter and environment
• Biosciences and medicine
• Visualisation

Goals and Activities of the Imaging and Visualisation CRN

The goal of the Collaborative Research Network in Imaging and Visualisation (CRNI) aims to promote and support:

• research in the fundamentals and applications of imaging and visualisation; and
• the use of the available state of the art imaging facilities as investigative tools in all the research areas.

In its day-to-day activities the Network will:

• Foster contacts and collaborations
• Encourage and support the transfer of ideas and new research
• Help to educate and inform University research staff
• Maintain information relevant to research in imaging and visualisation.

CRNI research interests have much overlap with the interests of the other Networks. To find out more, please visit www.research.bham.ac.uk
