After two years of existence, the scientific achievements of the COSMIC project will be presented to the whole DRF community.

After a 2-year life, the COSMIC project has been very well evaluated and will continue for at least 3 years. (The slides presented during the defense are available here).

Dr Abderrahim Halimi, now currently Assistant Professor at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, Scotland), is visting us for 6 weeks at NeuroSpin (April, 20- June, 2) to develop a collaboration on inverse problem solving in medical imaging (MRI, fMRI).

Benoît Sarthou, who is currently in gap year at ENSTA Paris-Tech, has joined us for 5 months to work on the development of our PySAP software.

On the 1st of Dec. 2017, Samuel Farrens has been hired on a permanent CEA research scientist position with part time dedicated to the COSMIC project. His main affiliation is CosmoStat and Sam will spend time with us at NeuroSpin on a weekly basis. Congrats Sam!

After one year of existence, the scientific achievements of the COSMIC project have been presented to the whole DRF community (The slides of my talk are available here).

We are glad to attend the Dedale (EU FET-OPEN project led by J.-L. Starck) meeting (Sep. 4-6 in Nice) and present some recent work on compressed sensing for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, both at the acquisition and reconstruction levels.

We have been invited to contribute to the special session led by Jérôme Idier (IRCCyN/CNRS) and Cédric  Herzet (INRIA Rennes) on the Compressed Sensing topic. We will highlight the recent results we obtained at 7 Tesla in CS-MRI  based on the novel SPARKLING (Segmented Projection Algorithm for Random K-space samplING say shortly: SPARse K-space samplING) trajectories for ex-vivo T2* imaging.
