Our very own lab manager, Jorge Documet, has passed his final thesis defense on April 30th, 2009, and thus earning his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering at University of Southern California. Jorge’s thesis is titled “An Electronic Patient Record (ePR) System for Image-Assisted Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (IA-MISS)”. Dr. Documet has accepted a post-doctoral research position here in IPILab. We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in Dr. Documet’s thesis, including Dr. HK Huang, Dr. Brent Liu, Dr. John Chiu, and many others.

In addition, our Dr. Mark Haney has just been accepted to the preliminary surgery residency program at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, beginning his new career as a surgeon.

Every member here at IPILab hereby offers our most sincere congratulations to Dr. Documet and Dr. Haney, and we wish for nothing but success in their respective career paths.
