Collaborative Computational Project in Tomographic Imaging (CCPi) aims to provide the UK tomography community with a toolbox of algorithms that increases the quality and level of information that can be extracted by computed tomography.

CCPi is chaired by Prof Phil Withers (University of Manchester); co-ordinated by staff in The Science and Technology Facilities Council Scientific Computing Department, led by a working group of experimental and theoretical academics with links to Diamond Light Source, ISIS and Industry. UoMaH runs an annual Imaging workshop in collaboration with CCPi and 3Dmagination.

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Central Laser Facility (CLF) is one of the world’s leading laser facilities, providing scientists from the UK and Europe with an unparalleled range of state-of-the-art laser technology. UoMaH and CLF are partners on a two year Covid-19 imaging project  in support of the Covid-19 Transmission and Environment (PROTECT) National Core Study.

Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national synchrotron science facility. It works like a giant microscope, harnessing the power of electrons to produce bright light that scientists can use to study anything from fossils to jet engines to viruses and vaccines.

UoMaH supports the development of sample environments and rigs for experiments at Diamond as part of the UoMaH and Diamond collaboration agreement. Diamond and UoMaH/UoM also currently co-fund the Resilience and Catalysis Research Fellows. 

STFC, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source is a world-leading centre for research at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell. ISIS neutron and muon instruments give unique insights into the ​properties of materials​ on the atomic scale. ​ISIS and UoMaH / UoM co-fund the Research Fellow in Fusion. ​UoMaH and ISIS also collaborate in the development of sample environments and rigs for experiments at the ISIS neutron and Muon Source. 

The STFC Scientific Computing Department (SCD) is one of the UK’s leading centres of expertise in data-intensive science, and home to sophisticated high-performance hardware.  SCD and UoMaH are currently co-funding a Post Doc Research Associate in Invex Imaging.

3DMagination use their established expertise in 4D time-resolved laboratory and synchrotron computed tomography to develop and provide advanced, custom-built training in 3D and 4D imaging to academics and companies willing to take the lead in their research and business.

UoMaH and 3Dmagination are partners in the delivery of courses in fundamentals of X-ray tomography, visualisation and quantification of tomographic data and Digital Volume correlation. 

Finden offer conventional and advanced analysis in laboratory and synchrotron techniques (diffraction, spectroscopy, Microscopy and Imaging and Conventional XRD) to enable customers to develop improved and new products and or overcome material problems. UoMaH and Finden are partners in the delivery of courses in chemical imaging and X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT).
