Last week Friday Caeleste celebrated its 5th anniversary with a Scientific Seminar. Bart Dierickx invited 6 speakers in the domain of X-ray vision, radiation tolerance, particle detections. These where:
– Evi Bongaers (SkyScan, Kontich, Belgium), “The use of micro-CT in material science”
– Jeroen Hostens (SkyScan, Kontich, Belgium) on “Micro-CT in biological science”
– Albert Theuwissen (undersigned), on “Cosmic radiation damage in image sensors”. (I promised myself that this was going to be the last time I was giving this presentation.)
– Erik Heijne (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland), on “From microscope to attoscope: silicon eyes at the CERN LHC”
– Pablo Fajardo (E.S.R.F., Grenoble, France), on “Detectors for high energy X-ray synchrotron radiation applications”
– Claire Bourgain (V.U.B., UZ-Brussel, Belgium), on “The diagnostic relevance of color X-ray”. It seems to be really true that there is color information in X-rays. It helps to better interpret X-ray mammograms.
After the Seminar we enjoyed a good barbecue on the roof of Caeleste’s office.
Congratulations to Bart and his team. Hopefully we seen each other again on the next birdthday party.
