First launched in 2020, the CoSeC Impact Award serves a dual purpose: to raise the awareness of the people comprising the project 'CoSeC' and their work supporting the Collaborative Computational Projects and High End Computing Consortia (CCPs, HECs); and to acknowledge the achievements of Early Career Researchers who have benefiited from CoSeC's community support.
This year, Ryan Warr a PhD student at the University of Manchester, Henry Moseley X-Ray Imaging Facility, won first place for his application describing how the core imaging library (CIL) - supported, developed and maintained through CoSeC - enabled his research concerning the advancement of hyperspectral X-Ray computed tomography (CT) for lab-based imaging.
Ryan attended training schools run by CoSeC and CCPi1 (CCP for tomographic imaging) helping to increase his understanding of advanced functionality available within CIL. Using this training and with the support of CCPSyneRBI2 (CCP for Synergistic Reconstruction for Biomedical Imaging), Ryan has been able to pass on his experience in using the CIL software tools. He demonstrated his own application of them during his presentation to the (twice-yearly) meeting of the CCP Steering Panel where he was invited to present his work to the Chairs and project leads of the CCPs and Research Councils: STFC, EPSRC, MRC, BBSRC, NERC, ESRC, and JISC.
The title slide of Ryan's talk he gave to the CCP Steering Panel: 'Improved images in the 4th dimension - enhancing data quality in bioimaging'
Ryan was warmly welcomed by the panel and thanked for the accessibility and high standard of his talk, reflected in the large number of follow-up questions he received from the audience.
On behalf of the Steering Panel and the CoSeC Project Managment Team - Congratulations Ryan! and we're sure you have a bright future ahead of you!
