Congrats to Marisa Morakis and Anthony Song on being awarded a prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation!

Tianyi (Mason) Chen passed his Ph.D. defense! His doctoral research focused on: “Structured Light for Data-driven Quantitative Tissue Imaging.” He has done incredible work in making SFDI more practical for clinical applications, creating GANPOP, OxyGAN, and si-SFDI. He’ll stay in the lab for a few months before starting his permanent position at Amazon. Congrats Mason!! We couldn’t be more proud of the first Ph.D. graduate from the group.

We are thankful to the National Science Foundation for an Early CAREER Award to support research on “Computational structured light imaging for widefield mapping of histologic primitives”.

In Summer 2020, we welcomed:

• Ryan Niemeier, a Hartwell Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow working on light sheet microscopy
• Anisha Oommen, a BME Ph.D. student working on lens-free holographic imaging

Nick was a keynote speaker for the 2nd International Workshop on Endoscopy Computer Vision as part of the IEEE ISBI conference.

We were honored to host Bruce Tromberg to meet our lab and learn about Hopkins BME. He delivered our BME Distinguished Lecture, on “Engineering the Future of Health.

Baltimore Polytechnic High School students, Arly, Me’Shiah, and Tre finished their projects on raspberry pi imaging. They gave amazing final presentations on photography, imaging, and instrumentation. They were mentored by Taylor and Greg. And thanks to the Center for Talented Youth for connecting us to these awesome local students!

We were honored to be hosted by Olympus for a site visit to discuss AI in endoscopy. Some highlights include:

• Taylor gave a presentation on the Computational Colonoscope
• Nick gave two presentations on AI in medical devices
• Meeting with Olympus AI and Optics engineers at Atelier X
• Geeking out at the Olympus Museum
• Sampling the Tokyo culture and food

In Fall 2019, we welcomed:

• Luojie Huang, a BME MS thesis student working on multi-object tracking
• Mayank Golhar, an ECE MS thesis student working on semi-supervised learning
• John Han, an ECE undergraduate working on synthetic colonoscopy data
• Melina Papadakis, a BME/ECE undergraduate working on SFDI
• Helena Hahn, a BME undergraduate working on deep learning wavefront sensing
• Nela Mohan, a BME/ECE undergraduate working on cytometry
• Victoria Chen, a BME undergraduate working on improving embolization procedures

Kubanda’s story is on the Hub today. Great work Bailey, Clarisse, and team!
