Congratulations Cuong!

Dr. Steele Graduation

The lab went mini-golfing to celebrate Cuong’s graduation. Cuong has been an undergraduate researcher in the lab for the past year developing a system to evaluate hand function with depth cameras in partnership with Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. He has done a fantastic job developing GUIs for capturing data and deploying the cameras into the clinical setting. Cuong will be joining Phillip’s Ultrasound Division. Best of luck Cuong – you will be missed in the lab!

As for mini-golf, we need some more practice. Ben Shuman and Lauren Sepp (with two holes in one and an assist) were the winners!
