Yogesh PatelNew Jersey native Yogesh Patel grew up in a family of engineers and doctors, so his work in Dr. Charles DiMarzio’s Optical Science Laboratory — which develops biological and medical imaging modalities – is in ways a natural fit. Patel’s background and his work in biomedical optics and nanotechnology converge in the lab, which is working to revolutionize traditional methods of detecting skin cancer by developing a non-invasive imaging modality for use in clinical settings. |

Brian PlouffeFor Red Sox fan Brian Plouffe, Northeastern offers state-of-the-art facilities that are easily accessible from his home in Rhode Island. Though Plouffe’s daily commute is quick, presenting his research has taken him to more distant places, including Denver, San Francisco and Groningen, the Netherlands. |
