LOCATION
Washington, DC is a vibrant city where politics, history, and culture combine. Try soaking in a bit of art at one of Washington’s many galleries or visit the famous Capitol Hill to absorb a bit of American history. Academically, Washington is home to the historical Georgetown University, one of the nation’s oldest universities. It is well- known for its diverse students, researchers, and faculty, as well as its intellectual character and international reputation. In spring, Washington plays host to a number of international festivals such as the Asian Heritage Festival and the Meridian International Children’s Festival, all taking place against the backdrop of blooming cherry blossoms. With so many events taking place, visiting Washington will be an enriching and exciting experience for everybody.
TOPIC
In recent years, with the aid of engineering and information technology, image and signal processing has emerged as a high-tech field, generating innovation in such areas as medical imaging, health informatics, wireless and remote sensors, watermarking, PACS, MRI, nuclear medicine and medical cybernetics. Scientists and engineers in this field have recently been working towards such advances as developing virtual learning systems for training intravenous catheterization and collecting blood samples, creating artificial organs that mimic natural human organs, conducting telemedicine and telediagnosis, performing surgeries with robots, creating a laboratory-on-a-chip, and watermarking medical data.
