His research involves developing advanced algorithms and techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of medical image analysis, ultimately aiming to enhance diagnostic capabilities and patient outcomes.
Peter Lu
Kechao "Peter" Lu (Chambers Fellow) is a first year Ph.D. student in the Biomedical Engineering department. He graduated from Duke Kunshan University with a B.E. in Material Physics track. As an undergraduate, he has been involved in various projects under the guidance of Dr. Changcheng Zheng, including the study of exciton dynamics in semiconductors and the development of novel white LEDs. At Duke, he is working at Duke's BIOS Laboratory under the guidance of Dr. Adam P. Wax, where he can contribute to the development of a low-cost Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system for imaging Alzheimer's disease.
Max McWhorter
Max McWhorter (Chambers Scholar) is a third-year PhD student in Chemistry. He graduated with his B.S. in Chemistry and Biochemistry from The University of Oklahoma, with an undergraduate research focus on luminescent organic-inorganic hybrid halide materials for LED applications. His current work in the Mitzi group at Duke focuses on designing new chalcogenide materials for applications in photovoltaics, spin control, and beyond, as well as the development of new design principles to drive the discovery of functional materials
Harvey Shi
Harvey Shi (Chambers Scholar) is a third year PhD student in the Biomedical Engineering department, working in the Computational Optics Lab of Dr. Roarke Horstmeyer. Harvey graduated with a B.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science from Duke University. After college, Harvey worked as an associate in research at Duke and joined the MD-PhD program at Duke. Harvey's research focuses on computational approaches to surgical imaging using 3D optical imaging systems such as optical coherence tomography (OCT).
