Last week Afsar Muhammad presented his work on the core structure of lightweight gypsum materials during the Workshop on Advanced X-ray characterization technologies in Earth Sciences hosted by @ZAG_Slovenia in collaboration with @unict_it, @cnr_igag and @elettrasincro

It was great working together with the teams from @HWU_IGE & @TUDelft_CT on the role of small-scale rock heterogeneities on subsurface hydrogen storage. 🤲 #hydrogen #EnergyTransition Please check out the #openaccess paper below

🚀 We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher! The position is part of the ERC Starting Grant FLOWSCOPY aimed at visualizing fluid flow in porous materials by developing X-ray velocimetry methods. For more information see: ugent.be/en/work/scient…

Check out our new publication on imaging biofilms in 3D with micro-computed tomography sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. It is the result of a fruitful interdisciplinary collaboration between multiple research groups and universities. @PprogressU @CMET_UGENT @Contrast_team @ugent_fwe

Last week Prof. Dr. Tom Bultreys and Sharon Ellman were invited to teach about micro-CT imaging and image analysis at the winter school on Digital Environmental Geosciences @Univ_Orleans on 16 and 17 January.
