This summer we were delighted to welcome yet another cohort of students for the National Science Foundation-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates focused on imaging in medicine and biology for underrepresented minorities. With support from the Kearns Center, 11 students from institutions across the country including Princeton University, Spelman College, and others, worked on research projects with nine University of Rochester faculty.

Led by principal investigator Marvin Doyley, the Wilson Professor of Electronic Imaging and chair of electrical and computer engineering, and co-PI Jiebo Luo, professor of computer science and the Albert Arendt Hopeman Professor of Engineering, this was an important opportunity for students from underrepresented groups to study some of the most crucial questions in the field.
