Our students Apurva Singh, Emilie Lemieux, Jillian McGough, Samhita Murthy, Sydney Bailes and summer intern Jacob Haile have participated and presented their projects last month in BMES 50th Annual Conference held in Atlanta, GA. Emilie, Jillian and Samhita presented their work on developing and comparing automated segmentation methods for infrared breast images. Sydney and Jacob presented their recent results on cluster analysis in thermal imaging to aid in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Apurva presented on the effectiveness of radiation therapy for the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

The conference featured thousands of scientific poster and platform presentations and networking/career development opportunities. The BME Department coordinated the participation of over forty students, faculty and post docs at this annual conference. Twenty three BME students presented their research work at this conference. The BME department and the SEAS Office of Graduate Admissions and Student Services also hosted a booth to share information about our graduate programs and research with prospective students.
