Phase Retrieval Workshop 2021
BioXFEL sponsored a remote Phase Retrieval Workshop Monday, October 18 through Tuesday, October 19 2021. The workshop featured a mix of lectures and virtual demonstrations delivered by BioXFEL staff, scholars, and collaborators.
This two-day online event was delivered to an international audience of over 60 people. On the first day we held a teaching session where we covered the basic math, physics, algorithms, and biological applications of phase retrieval methods. Day 2 was focused on research talks presented by invited speakers discussing their current research pertaining to phase retrieval methods. The talks were recorded and posted to YouTube. Below you will find the first video in the series.
