Congratulations to Dr. Ben Lerktsakdadet
On 15 Feb 2019, Ben Lertsakdadet successfully defended his PhD dissertation entitled “Accounting for Motion Artifact and Optical Property Changes in Laser Speckle Imaging”. Congratulations to Dr. Lertsakdadet!
Congratulations to Katie Khouri on receiving training grant!
Katie Khouri, a rising second-year UCI MCSB student who recently matched with Prof. Choi, was awarded a NIH T32 CARE fellowship from the Edwards Lifesciences Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Technology. Katie carries on a long-standing tradition of MTI lab PhD students receiving fellowship funding. Congratulations Katie!
