Chiara Garbellotto
After studying astronomy in Italy (BSc and MSc at the University of Padova), I started a four-year PhD program within the Centre for Doctoral Training in Integrative Sensing and Measurement. I completed the first year of taught courses between the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh, and then joined the Imaging Concepts Group in summer 2016, with a project on SPIM microscopy supervised by Jonathan Taylor. I now work on improving SPIM’s 3D imaging performances, exploiting compressive sensing and computational imaging techniques. The specific final application I work for is in vivo imaging of the beating zebrafish heart, which is widely used as an animal model of the human heart, and is therefore of great interest for biologists studying our heart’s structure, development and diseases.
Outside research, I enjoy my PhD student life discovering Scottish nature, people, food, drinks, weather (well…) and culture in general, and I like challenging myself in all possible ways, doing things such as participating in runs I’m not trained to run and enrolling to a Japanese course when I still have problems understanding Glaswegians.
