—— About
Dr. Jaimi A. Gray
I am a research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin's High Resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography facility (UTCT). I use Computed Tomography (CT) to create digital representations of objects, and I specialise in contrast-enhanced imaging using diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced CT (diceCT). I am heavily involved in the Non-Clinical Tomography User's Research Network (NoCTURN).
I previously worked on the broad-scale digitisation effort, the open Vertebrate (oVert) project). I created digital datasets of specimens from natural history collections, and made them freely available on MorphoSource for researchers, educators, artists, and anybody else.
As well as working to digitise objects at a broad scale, I also work with collaborators on focussed anatomy projects including squamate osteology, frog brain morphology, and new species descriptions.
