Hosted by the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program, this year’s LDRD Day highlighted the value of developing collaborative networks with other researchers.

In accordance with this theme, Ferrier presented an overview of the Integrated Imaging Institute (I3), focusing on three current projects: PHOTO (photocatalysis); Modeling, Analysis and Ultrafast Imaging (MAUI); Multimodal Imaging of Materials for Energy Storage (MIMES); and Smart Acquisition and Sampling for Simulation and Imaging (SASSI).

“The projects involve collaborations from across the lab, including three directorates – Photon Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering, and Computing, Environment and Life Sciences,” said Ferrier. ​“By combining expertise in different imaging approaches, I3 provides a key resource for researchers to gain insights into complex physical, biological, and chemical processes.
