3rd prize poster award for Amir Peiraviminaei at ZESS PhD Forum

The ZESS PhD Forum 2026 today was well attended and received. Amir Peiraviminaei won the 3rd prize in the category poster presentations. Congratulations, Amir!

Participation in GRC Image Science

Ivo has been participating in the Gordon Research Conference on Image Science last week. He has served with Chrysanthe Preza, University of Memphis as a discussion leader for the session “AI and Image Science”. It was an amazing program and a very good experience.

New Optics Express Publication

Our paper on pupil function recovery directly from measurement data without iterative optimization has been published in Optics Express: John Meshreki, Jan Philipp Schneider, Onofre Martorell, Michael Moeller, and Ivo Ihrke, “PI-FPM: pupil initialization for Fourier ptychographic microscopy directly from measurement data“, Vol. 34, Issue 9, pp. 16575-16589, (2026). Congrats, John, Philipp and Onofre!

Syed Muhammad Kazim won the ISCS’25 best poster award

Congratulations to Kazim for the best poster award of ISCS 2025 for his contribution “Performance Validation of Coded Wavefront Sensing for Quantitative Phase Imaging of Static and Dynamic Specimens Using Digital Holographic Microscopy“! There will be a youtube video soon.
