e2v's Centre for Electronic Imaging in collaboration with Open University

The Open University and e2v in collaboration have opened e2v Centre for Electronic Imaging (CEI). The e2v CEI is in to the research and development of advanced technologies for electronic image sensing and provides knowledge exchange between the UK technology and the academic world.

Dr. Trevor Cross, Group Chief Technology Officer for e2v said, "We are excited to be working with the Open University and Professor Holland, strengthening and evolving the e2v CEI. The CEI helps e2v deliver world class innovation in imaging technology for Space science missions such as XMM, Envisat and GAIA for ESA, and the Hubble Space Telescope for NASA. As the CEI team grows we hope to include imaging research outside the current space focus". Adding "we have been very impressed by the research base at the OU and look forward to a long relationship here"

Professor Holland, Director of the e2v CEI added, "This leading academic centre really benefits from association with an acknowledged world class imaging business like e2v through access to latest new product technologies and facilities. We are particularly pleased that research student numbers are increasing and we can announce that we are now recruiting for a further two 5-year research Fellowships to start early in 2010 to expand the core capabilities of the research centre."
