PhD course on Digital Image Analysis for Scientific Applications (DIASA)

The target group is PhD students from all subjects where digital image analysis (IA) is used as a research tool. No previous experience in IA is required from the course participants, but an interest in its potential as a tool in their own research is important. The course can be followed with a basic knowledge of mathematics (corresponding to upper‐ secondary level entry requirements) and basic computer skills.

NMI node: BIIF at Uppsala University
Location: Dept. IT, Uppsala University and on zoom
Time of event: second half of spring 2023
Deadline for registration: February 10, 2023
