Two multidisciplinary senior design teams in the College of Engineering and Computing are taking on major health‑related challenges, showcasing how engineering students are applying research, innovation, and collaboration to improve health outcomes.

With the support of her Mason mentors, doctoral student Shrishti Singh has achieved her goal of developing a promising new technology that would allow cancer to be visualized in deep tissue and perhaps diagnosed earlier.

The localized enlargement of arteries in the brain, known as cerebral aneurysms, can have devastating consequences. Mason researcher Juan Cebral and his team are studying major risk factors for aneurysms and how to identify high-risk patients who need prompt and aggressive treatments.
