Three PhD students at the chair of biomedical physics had their successful PhD examinations this week

Astrid Velroyen, Andreas Fehringer, Dr. Peter Noël, and Prof. Franz Pfeiffer finished third place in the TUM IdeAward with their business idea about "high-end algorithms for computed tomography". The winning teams were chosen by a jury from TUM, UnternehmerTUM, and Zeidler-Forschungs-Stiftung. The…

Björn Enders and co-workers were invited to write an article about their research for the ESRF Highlights magazine.

Lensless x-ray microscopy has many applications in different fields of research but can be challenging whith strongly absorbing and refracting samples. Marco Stockmar and co-workers demonstrated that near-field ptychography can efficiently address this challenge and published their results in the…

Björn Enders and Pierre Thibault (UCL) have developed a software package for ptychographic reconstruction and released it as open source on github. Ptypy was designed with flexibility in mind and should allow rapid development of new ideas. More information can be found on the github page.

Franz Pfeiffer is co-hosting next year's International Symposium on BioMedical Applications of X-Ray Phase Contrast Imaging (IMXP) in Garmisch in January 2015 in Garmisch-Patenkirchen, Germany.

The student council awarded Prof. Franz Pfeiffer for his excellent lecuture on Experimental Physics I & II.

The TV channel BR Alpha showed a report about Franz Pfeiffer and grating based X-ray phase-contrast and darkfield imaging.

Björn Enders and co-workers published an article about their latest results in Applied Physics Letters.
