SUMMARY:Machine Learning for Microscopy Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION PARTICIPANTS — The event has been moved online. Check your email for more details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Machine Learning for Microscopy Hackathon accelerates the use of AI in microscopy and materials research. By connecting microscopy and machine-learning communities\, we foster collaboration\, open science\, and reproducible workflows for imaging\, spectroscopy\, and automated experimentation.  \n\n\n\nGlobal Hybrid with In-person at ILSB AuditoriumDecember 16 – 18\, 2025 \n\n\n\nConnect with researchers\, students\, and data-science enthusiasts for a high-energy\, interdisciplinary hackathon focused on applying machine learning to cutting-edge microscopy challenges. Participants will work in teams to develop innovative solutions for real imaging challenges spanning imaging\, spectroscopy\, and automation. \n\n\n\nWe will be hosting a local site in the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building (ILSB) Auditorium from 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. from December 16–18th\, with check-in from 8:00–9:00 am. \n\n\n\nFood and drinks will be provided. Join your fellow Aggies and connect across disciplines to solve these pioneering microscopy challenges. Below are links to register for the local site and the hackathon.
