As I started the 4th week with PATHS-UP, Rice University the research department. After working on Breast cancer detection using machine learning. Everything became more clear about the program. We started the week by learning about the perfect poster training. We learned about why designing effective research posters is important and how an effective poster is to share the knowledge of what we learned and it should contain visual representation to attract the audience .
What makes a poster visually appealing?
What makes a poster visually appealing is to be concise and informative and it should attract and engage with the subject.
How to present a poster?
Presenting a poster should be summarizing the experience completing it and very quick using a limited time.
There are 4 keys characteristics about any effective poster:
-Easy to understand.
-Visually appealing.
– Tell a story.
-Strategically designed.
Time-Of-Flight-Diffuse Optical by Yongyi Zhao
On the Second day Yongyi Zhao, Graduate Student Presentation explained a very interesting topic about Time-Of-Flight-Diffuse Optical which is Translation of the image activity in the brain. (BCI) Applications of the brain that it interfaces with prosthetics and mobility.
-Imaging through a strongly diffusive medium remains an outstanding challenge, in particular in applications in biological and medical imaging. Here, a method based on a single-photon time-of-flight camera allows, in combination with computational processing of the spatial and full temporal photon distribution data.
The technique is contactless and requires 1 s acquisition times, thus allowing Hz frame rate imaging. The imaging depth corresponds to several centimetres of human tissue and allows us to perform deep-body imaging as a proof of principle.
Lab on particle technology
By Dr.DiCarlo
On the third day of the PATHS- UP learning journey I came across another interesting topic Which is:
Lab on particle technology
During this presentation Dr.DiCarlo talked about Micro and nanotechnologies designed to operate at micrometer length scales that are uniquely suited to sense and manipulate single cells and single molecules. Concerning diagnostics, these approaches promise to lay the foundation for continuously monitoring health through minute quantities of biomarkers indiscernible by present-day technologies, a revolution that will lead to detecting and re-defining the concept of disease to be unique to each individual. Those molecules are made in different shapes and the dropicles are filled with water and oil.
On the last day of this week,I attended the young scholars’ presentation. They showed their intelligence and their hard work completing the research. It was very inspiring and interesting.This week was exhausting and full of work and information but at the end i enjoyed so many aha moments that i have encountered.
