CenSSIS Students Win First Place in Capstone Design Competition

Two groups of senior engineering students from Northeastern University's Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department and the Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (MIME) Department have built a working proof-of-principle for a hand-held confocal reflectance microscope in the Optical Science Laboratory.

For this project, the ECE group members—Chris Carr, Chris Marinis, Tom Aites, and Jeff Guziejka—won first place in the 9th annual ECE Capstone Design Competition. These students were advised by CenSSIS researcher, Prof. Charles DiMarzio and CenSSIS graduate student, William Warger, with Prof. Bahram Shafai as their Capstone Supervisor.

The proof-of-principle instrument is a first step toward a long-term CenSSIS project in collaboration with Lucid, Inc., to build a working hand-held reflectance confocal microscope that will be tested at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
