CoMotion at University of Washington

A research team led by UW ECE and Physics Professor Arka Majumdar has designed a new kind of lens system for the tip of an endoscope, which could enable physicians to view and treat areas deep inside the body. This research advance was described in Nature's journal Light: Science & Applications. The advanced meta optics in this lens system could potentially transform medical imaging and improve outcomes for conditions like heart disease and stroke.

I’m really excited to share what I’ve been working on in Stealth Mode for the past few months. When looking at travel accommodations, no platform today effectively answers the question: “How does this hotel fit into my trip?”. If you have a list of places to visit in a new city, it’s nearly impossible to figure out the most convenient location to stay in. Today, we launched the open beta of Viata to solve this problem. With Viata, you can find and compare hotels based on the places on your custom itinerary. You can try it out today at viata.ai. We’re partnered with Vio.com and Expedia Group to show travel times and transportation options in thousands of cities and hundreds of thousands of properties worldwide. This has been an incredible journey so far with an even more incredible team Cecilia Aragon, PhD, Eli Goldberg, Tatum Lindquist, Chingiz Torobekov and advisors Dorine R. and Ryan Lee. Thanks to Lisa Stiffler at GeekWire for perfectly illuminating the problem we’re solving. https://lnkd.in/gNj35muf
