Meet Ben Ecclestone, a Systems Design Engineering PhD student. Ben is designing a device that can image the light that is absorbed instead of the light that is reflected, which can be used in cancer diagnosis. He describes it as being able to see everything but the red in an apple.
The opportunity that I've had working with this lab to develop and take projects and pursue them, I didn't see this at other labs when I was applying for grad school. And so, I think it really comes back to that environment or the culture of Waterloo that promotes an entrepreneurial mindset.
