Roman Vasyltsiv, a PhD student in Dr. Bruza's Optics in Medicine Lab won the SLAM competition at the New England chapter of the American Association of Physics in Medicine meeting in Quincy Massachusetts. Roman gave a 3 minute, 3 slide description of his research work to resolve the spectral features of Cherenkov emission during radiotherapy in order to determine underlying tissue composition. The talk was designed to appeal to non-scientists and was judged by lay people for clarity, interest, and ability to convey complex ideas. Roman will represent the New England Chapter at the upcoming national meeting this summer and was awarded a $500.00 scholarship to help with attendance costs.
