10/20/2026: Ismail Erbas has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 OGE Graduate Student Research Excellence Award. The award recognizes his interdisciplinary research, outstanding publication record, strong collaborations, engagement with industry and medical stakeholders, and broader activities supporting research translation and entrepreneurship. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!

10/1/2026: Congratulations to Stefan Radev on his first NIH R01 award! The $1.4 million, four-year project, funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), supports a collaboration with our lab to improve the accuracy and reliability of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) through biophysical simulation, generative AI, and Bayesian inference. The project will develop advanced computational tools for more realistic brain imaging and real-world fNIRS applications.
