We are proud to announce that Conor McDermott has been awarded the Senate Medal for Outstanding Graduate Work for his exceptional master’s thesis, “Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy with Multi-modal Tissue Discrimination for Ultrasound-Guided Targeted Biopsy.” McDermott, who recently completed his Master of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering, has demonstrated remarkable academic and research excellence through his innovative work.
His thesis focuses on the development of advanced techniques for improving the accuracy and efficiency of ultrasound-guided biopsies. By integrating electrical impedance spectroscopy with multi-modal tissue discrimination, McDermott’s research aims to enhance the precision of targeted biopsies, potentially leading to better diagnostic outcomes for patients.
In addition to this prestigious recognition from Carleton University, McDermott’s research was also celebrated on an international stage. Last year, he was awarded the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference held in Kuala Lumpur. This accolade further underscores the significance and impact of his work within the biomedical engineering community.
