Now we are finally up to the last week of the academic year 2016. The Fall semester officially ends on Wednesday 21st, and many classes are over with final exams or reports due already, or very soon. Below are a few events that happened in the first half of December.
- Prof. Woo EJ from Kyung Hee University gave a very interesting talk on Electrical Impedance Tomography on the last Department Colloquium of the year, on 12/8.
- Through the proposal and encouragement of Prof. Woo, Dr. Lee JS and I agreed to host a mini-symposium in an annual IEEE EMB conference in Jeju Island in July next year.
- A year-end party was held on Saturday 12/16 for the CNIR members and families. PhD candidate Mr. Park Jinil was given the best student publication award of the year.
- Dr. Lee Hwan ("Sean") from Max Planck Institute in Frankfurt joined the CNIR for the winter to conduct research on non-human primates.
- A new faculty is set to join the BME department and CNIR from Univ. Colorado from March 2017. He will do research on human fMRI from cognition standpoint.
Now off to the new year - the winter recess will be a valuable time to reflect on the past year's experiences and shape ideas to steer and define the MR research direction in the coming years.
