He graduated with a B. Eng. in Engineering Physics from McMaster in 2014. His biophotonics research focuses on improving colonoscopy by tracking endoscope motion, visualizing vessel structures and evaluating extended field of view imagers. In his research, Ian has used visible and infrared cameras, micro-CT and x-rays. From September 2017 until August 2018, Ian completed a co-op internship at L3Harris WESCAM working in Electro-optics Engineering. Ian has also collaborated with McMaster's Additive Manufacturing Group since August 2019. He provides his experience with optics, image processing and visualization to their multi-disciplinary research. ===== Publications ===== M. Yakout, I. Phillips, M. A. Elbestawi, and Q.
