Tomography Shortcourse

April 13-17, 2020

Due to COVID-19 this workshop will be postponed until further notice. We will keep you informed about updates after we revise our workshop agenda. We are currently discussing alternatives, but have decided against a remote format and want to hold an in person workshop at an appropriate time.

SEMC and NCCAT will be offering a 1 week workshop focused on the theory and practice of tomographic methods. The mornings will have lectures and stimulating round table discussions. The afternoons provide hands-on practicals to reinforce fundamental concepts and topics covered earlier in the day.
