POSTDOC IN DEVELOPMENT OF 4D IMAGE PROCESSING METHODS at Cambridge University
Computed tomography (CT) has transformed fields by enabling non-destructive three-dimensional (3D) imaging. However, conventional CT is fundamentally limited by acquisition speed: high-quality 3D reconstruction typically requires thousands of X-ray radiographs acquired over a full specimen rotation, taking minutes to hours. This makes CT unsuitable for fast, transient phenomena such as additive manufacturing, impact, fracture and high-rate deformation.
