Exciting news on our Computer Vision project to share: our CU Boulder Computer Science graduate student Atharva Peshkar has been awarded “BEST IN PHYSICS” for his very first submission to AAPM (annual conference for the American Association of Physics in Medicine).

Best in Physics is awarded to the top 15 abstracts (5 from each category) out of typically ~>2200 submissions, so Atharva’s abstract was scored in the top <1% of submissions, and he’ll present at a special session for the award. 

This speaks to the potential and excitement of this work in our field, as well as Atharva’s hard work so far.  It certainly bodes well for us to secure funding to move the project further along!
