Nine Queen’s School of Computing Perk Lab undergraduate papers were accepted to the SPIE Conference on Medical Imaging: Image-Guided Procedures, Robotic Interventions, and Modeling, to be held in Orlando, Florida, February 11 – 16, 2017.
This is one of the larges international conferences in the field of Medical Imaging. The 10-page paper will be published in the SPIE procedings.
Our undergraduate first-authors are:
1st year: Hillary Lia
2nd year: Aniqah Mair, Vinith Suriyakumar, Anna Ilina, Christina Yan
3rd year: Vinyas Harish, Zac Baum, Rachael House, Grace Underwood
In addition to their own first-authored paper, Zac Baum co-authored 3 further papers and
Vinyas Harish co-authored 2 further papers. Eden Bibic, co-author, was a grade-11 high school student on Queen’s University Internships in Computing (QUIC). Rene Xu, co-author, contributed her work through a CISC-500 undergraduate thesis. All but one of the undergrads are in the Biomedical Computing Program.
