Veni grant for Daniël Pelt

The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded a Veni grant to CWI researcher Daniël Pelt. The funding allows the researcher, who has recently obtained his PhD, to conduct independent research and develop their ideas for a period of three years. Daniël Pelt (Computational Imaging group) receives the VENI grant for his proposal titled "Learning algorithms for large 3D images". Accurate analysis of images is important in many fields. Learning algorithms can greatly improve analysis, but currently do not work well for large three-dimensional (3D) images. In this project, Pelt will develop new learning algorithms for large 3D images.

Veni grant
The Veni grant is one of three grants of the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme of NWO, which was established to stimulate talented, creative researchers. It amounts to a maximum of 250,000 euro, allowing recipients to further elaborate their own research ideas during a period of three years. Obtaining this grant is an important step in a scientific career. This year, a total of 1115 researchers from all scientific disciplines submitted research project proposals. Of these, 154 applicants were awarded the prestigious grant.
