    I worked with him for two years. He's very supportive and helpful. He encouraged me through the difficulties in my research. Even after I left his lab, he's still supportive for my fellowship applications etc.

    • Prof's Take

      Students get unique and extensive hands on lab and project experience. Through design competition as well as Honors project, they receive extensive skills and experience building medical devices, work in teams, and do independent project of their choice. Medical Instrumentation is also a capstone design course, especially for students in the Instrumentation track.
