Final Year Students 2005

Amelia Widjaja Amelia is a final year engineering student majoring in electrical and electronics whose origin is Indonesia. Her project with OBEL focuses on analysis of the sample arm design for Optical Coherence Tomography. Her idea of a perfect day off is reading a good book with a cup of drink or walking around the markets, watching movies and going out for dinner (having some quality time with family and friends). She has keen interests in food, art and travelling.
Blake Klyen Blake is a final year Biomedical Engineering student, and completed his BSc(Physiology/Neuroscience) in 2003. After taking off the later half of last year to work (party) and travel (drink in different countries) around Europe, he has returned to the fold to finish his BE(E&E) degree. Blake’s OBEL project aims to investigate the application of Optical Coherence Tomography as an imaging tool for muscular dystrophy research, in collaboration with the School of Anatomy and Human Biology. Outside of uni, Blake enjoys his job as a projectionist at the cinemas, being involved at Riverview Church, drinking coffee, playing sport and keeping fit, listening to good music, coffee, and spending time with good friends over a few beers (or coffee). Given half a chance, Blake would be travelling the world again, but with someone else footing the bill this time..
David Lee David has spent the last four years studying computer science and electrical/electronic engineering. His OBEL project involves researching pulse oximetry using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. He likes to think his work may make a difference in the future, if not in the past. When not stressing out in the lab, David enjoys sleeping in, listening to almost all kinds of music, watching movies, eating, and generally having fun (including the odd beer or three) with his friends. He doesn’t like crickets very much.
Jade Toh Jade is in her final year of Biomedical Engineering majoring in Physiology and EE Engineering. Her OBEL project involves developing a spectral domain OCT system capable of measuring flow profiles in a phantom - leading to future blood flow monitoring in port wine stain birth marks. In whatever remaining spare time she has, she would either be playing with her two puppies, learning Wushu and lion dancing at Chin Woo (School of Martial Arts) or shopping. If given the chance, she would be travelling the world, enjoying the sights and trying all the different foods.
Jonathan Stafford Jonathan is in his final year of Biomedical Engineering. His project aims are to create an improved dermatoscope-like device that is optimised for resolving pigmented skin lesions. In his spare time, Jonathan likes going to Church, spending time with friends and his fiance Laurel, planning his end-of-year wedding, playing the cello, flying radio-controlled gliders, fiddling with linux on his computer (currently Xandros)...
Michael Same Michael is in his final year of a the combined Engineering and Science double degree at UWA. His OBEL project has involved the construction of solid tissue phantoms of microspheres embedded in agarose gel for the digital Fourier holography project, as well as improving the accuracy of the curve-fitting algorithm to determine scatterer size.
Peter Lee Peter has spent the last four years studying electrical engineering and computer science, and he's glad the end is nigh. His project aims to add a new generation probe to the HOPS collection - featuring a motorised rotating reflector to help implement a long-range OCT scan of the human airway. To keep his sanity intact, Peter engages in squash, tennis, Brazilian Jujitsu, kungfu and is occasionally hermitised by the odd book or computer game. He's also really looking forward to the trip at the end of the year.
