About event
The 4th international scientific meeting PHASE in Brno will be dedicated to the research and development of Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) methods and their broad range of applications, extending beyond cell biology and medicine into related scientific and technological fields. The meeting aims to provide an open and inspiring platform for the exchange of ideas, recent advances, and future directions in QPI.
The scientific program will feature invited lectures by internationally recognized experts, alongside presentations by young scientists who actively use QPI in their research. Emphasis is placed on fostering discussion, collaboration, and knowledge sharing in a friendly and informal atmosphere, with ample time for scientific interaction and networking.
We are pleased to announce that several leading experts in the field of quantitative phase imaging have already confirmed their participation, including Björn Kemper, Pierre Marquet, Małgorzata Kujawińska, Maciej Trusiak, and Adrian Podoleanu. Their presence will ensure a high scientific level of the meeting and provide valuable insight into both fundamental developments and emerging applications of QPI.
The PHASE in Brno meeting continues its tradition of bringing together the global QPI community, encouraging dialogue between method developers and users, and supporting the growth of this rapidly evolving field.
All users, researchers, and supporters of quantitative phase imaging are warmly welcome to attend.
