HSI 2016: Conference Announced

The second biennial conference on hyperspectral imaging and applications has been announced by Xmark Media organisers of Photonex 2016. The free-to-attend event will be held under the umbrella of the Enlighten Conference alongside Photonex on Wednesday 12^th & Thursday 13^th October at the visitor-friendly Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

The technical programme committee is joined this year by Dr Aoife Gowen of University College Dublin who has extensive experience in the use of hyperspectral imaging in the examination of food stuffs. Additionally Dr Neil Clancy steps up into a role of programme organisation. He works at the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London and his research activities are centred on the development of optical technologies such as how hyperspectral imaging may be used in minimally invasive diagnosis and surgery.

Professor Stephen Marshall of the Hyperspectral Imaging Centre at the University of Strathclyde comments on the event, “The conference attendees benefit from the co-location with the PHOTONEX which gives added reason for attendance. A complete review of academic research and commercial instrumentation in just two days is the intention.”

The call for conference papers is now open and potential conference presenters should visit www.hsi2016.com where they can find more details and also register to attend.
