iSLI Students Showcase Sponsored Projects

Guests included academic supervisors, Industry advisors and design engineers, providing an excellent opportunity for the exchange of knowledge between education and industry. Best Poster was awarded to Sean Murphy, an EngD with Toshiba Medical,, for background correction in automated coronary artery centerline detection for CT volume data. Akin Akinyemi, also an EngD with Toshiba Medical, won best presentation for automatic coronary artery labeling in 3-D CT images.

CEO of iSLI, Tony Harker comments, “The EngD conference has been a triumph, not only are we very proud to highlight our academic achievements particularly in medical, defence and security applications but we are also strengthening the importance of academic co-operation with industry to pioneer and grow new ideas. The event also highlighted the significance of investing in an industry’s future during a period of economic challenge and for that we would like to thank all the EngD sponsors.”

iSLI is the only UK institute to deliver the EngD flagship qualification in electronics design and System Level Integration. Research Engineers on the Engineering Doctorate (EngD) are sponsored by companies for four years to perform PhD-level industrial research on behalf of the company and in keeping with the training programme. Sponsors, from start-ups to large multinationals, own the generated IP and Research Engineers not only graduate with a doctorate, but also with first-rate research skills and hands-on business experience.
