Well-known Professor Viacheslav Voronin and Professor Evgenii Semenishchev visited the CS Department (Computational Vision and Learning Laboratory directed by Distinughished Professor Sos Agaian) from 10 to 20 April 2019. Both scholars are from Don State Technical University (Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) visited the laboratory as visiting researchers. This is their third visit in the last eight months. They are working on the development of an innovation 3-D and augmented reality musculoskeletal analytic system. This system allows constructing a patient-specific bone implant. clicked here for details.
