Lucille Anzia – Testimony

“I was a SPUUR student during the summer of 2018, and feel very fortunate to have been placed in the labs of Alejandro Roldán–Alzate, PhD and Diego Hernando, PhD. Together, they have affiliations spanning the UW departments of biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, radiology and medical physics. Having no prior experience with engineering, this placement inserted me into a brand new world, and I absolutely loved it. I was introduced to engineering software that could translate medical imagery into computational data. Specifically, my project involved using pelvic MRIs to create 3D models of the human bladder and prostate, from which we could extract information on a wide variety of parameters. Afterwards, we analyzed the data for trends. This work left me fascinated every day of the internship.”
