Conference Description
The Image Science GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The GRS takes place in the day preceding the GRC. Attendees will be able to share their research during three sessions of oral presentations or during the seminar poster session. GRS chairs will select speakers and discussion leaders from submitted abstracts.
In imaging science, we seek to develop sensing and characterization techniques in various applications and mediums. Though these fields range from the biological to the technological, from the astronomical to the microscopic, they are often contending with similar challenges and questions. Examples include wavefront sensing and shaping techniques underpinning ground-based space telescopic imaging and retinal imaging; correlation-based techniques which appear both in seismic inversion and black-hole imaging; compressed sensing techniques that enable historical artifact restoration and dose-efficient imaging using MRI. This seminar will bring together early career scientists to share solutions to these common challenges that appear across a wide range of imaging disciplines.
Application Instructions
The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by January 18, 2026. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
Program Format
Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.
