Ian Phillips

Ian Phillips is a Ph. D. candidate in his final year at McMaster University studying Biomedical Engineering. 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 synchrotron x-ray beams. He is also a collaborator with McMaster's Additive Manufacturing Group; providing his experience with optics, image processing and visualization to their multi-disciplinary research. Ian's industry experience includes a yearlong co-op internship at L3Harris WESCAM working in Electro-optics Engineering beginning September 2017.
