Laura Bartha, MSc !!!

We have a new master's student in the Perk Lab: earlier today Laura Bartha has defended her thesis on "Surface Mesh-Based Ultrasound Simulator For Spinal Interventions". Upon submitting the final copy of the thesis, Laura will take a few weeks of rest and then start an exciting new job on image-guided neurosurgery navigation system development with a company in Toronto. Well done and good luck, Laura!
