| Gordon-CenSSIS graduates
move into promising careers in Sensing and Imaging Systems, while current
students win distinction for their scholarship and research.
The Bernard M. Gordon Center
for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (Gordon-CenSSIS), a National
Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC, includes four
core academic partners: Northeastern University (NU), Boston University
(BU), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and the University of Puerto
Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM). Gordon-CenSSIS also comprises a number
of Center Industrial Partners, such as The MathWorks, American
Science & Engineering, Analogic, Raytheon, Mercury Computer,
Wellman Laboratories and Edwin L. Steele Laboratory at the
Massachusetts General Hospital, General Electric’s Sensing Division and
Healthcare Division, and CardioMag. A number of Gordon-CenSSIS
graduates have begun successful careers at these institutions.

Recently, Gary Peterson (NU)
was hired by MSKCC, Matt Dickman (NU) was hired by NeuroLogica, Diego Rivera
(NU) was hired by MSKCC, and Anthony Serino (NU) began work at Raytheon.
Gordon-CenSSIS students
also have won awards for their work: NU undergraduates Matthew Bouchard
and Robert Crooker both won the Alcott Co-op award, presented to students
who go beyond university requirements for classroom and co-op experiences.
Matt has worked extensively with Professor DiMarzio on developing and refining
the microscopy efforts used in the BioBED and S1 efforts, while Robert
has worked with Professor Warner on imaging of cellular lipid rafts.
This year Matt also won several
other awards, including a scholarship from SPIE and a Barry M. Goldwater
Scholarship
NU undergraduate Amanda Angell,
currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Stanford University, was awarded a scholarship
by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. RPI graduate student
Yousef al-Kofahi won the 2007 Presidential Student Award from the Microscopy
Society of America for his work with RPI Professor Badri Roysam, and NU
undergraduate Matilda Urie was one of eight students to win a prestigious
Northeastern University Presidential Scholarship, which awards full tuition
to students with outstanding records in their majors, in liberal arts courses
and in co-operative education placements. |
