Dr Samuel Keyes
Visiting Academic
Dr Samuel Keyes is Visiting Academic within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
I am an engineer who uses advanced 3D imaging and image-analysis to conduct research into biological systems. My particular expertise is in the following:
- Designing assays and rigs for imaging plant/soil systems and bio-materials in vivo using X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT).
- Conducting XCT experiments at lab and synchrotron facilities, particularly experiments involving complex/fine structures and in situ imaging of dynamic material deformation.
- Developing computer-vision and big-data techniques for automated extraction of morphological features and deformation information from XCT data.
I work closely with the Southampton Centre for Computed Tomography , and a variety of synchrotron and spallation facilities, particularly the Swiss Light Source , the Diamond Light Source and the ISIS Neutron Facility .
