Welcome

With two new PhD students starting here in Manchester on Electrical Impedance Tomography reconstruction I have to get them quickly up to speed with the basics of reconstruction. My idea was to try to share this as much as possible with others starting out on learning EIT reconstruction (for medical, process or geophysical imaging) around the world.

I have not yet figured out how to do video streaming or video conferenceing in an easy way, so my first shot is to give a lecture (the first is today Thursday 23/09/2010 at 4pm in the Alan Turing Building Frank Adams Room 2), video it and post it on something like youtube.

Hopefully people following our impromptu course will be able to see the video and post queries and comments here on the blog.

Please introduce yourself as a comment to this post. Say at least your name, if you are a PhD student, postdoc or whatever and at what institution, and roughly what you are working on (or planning to work on)

  20. Hi sir thank you very much for the video lectures. I have just carried out several ERT experiments by using EIDORS, got some amazing results of water-plastic two phase stationary systems. I am doing masters in process engineering from PIEAS, Pakistan. Your video lectures helping me to investigate the technique more and more!!! Thanks again to Sir William Robert Bracken Lionheart!
