Prestigious fellowship into "Future Colour Imaging"
By: News Archive
Prof Graham Finlayson, who leads the world renowned Colour and Imaging Laboratory in the School of Computing Sciences, has been awarded a prestigious five year Established Career fellowship from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to push the boundaries of colour imaging research.
Colour Imaging is part of everyday life, whether that’s TV, content on tablets or phones, or software programmes at work. The content people see on screens is the result of decades of colour and imaging research and Prof Finlayson has been awarded this fellowship to continue this work.
The research will also potentially impact on more blue skies research including on the development of autonomous driving to ensure vehicles can operate in foggy conditions and helping people who are colour blind see like colour normals.
Prof Finlayson said: “These fellowships are few and far between (they're like hen's teeth) so I am delighted to have prevailed through what was a very competitive process. This fellowship is part of the enduring success story that is CMP's Colour and Imaging Lab.”
