UW Electrical Engineering Graduate Students Making A Real Impact
As a graduate student, Bradley Riotto, M.S. '19, helped build an FDA-approved augmented-reality system that today is enabling doctors to more easily perform ultrasound-guided surgical injections. Riotto currently works as a Software Engineering Lead at SFL Scientific, a Deloitte Business.
“I worked with some of the best professors in the trade and learned a lot of basics of electrical engineering from them. It's what got me my first break. If it wasn't for [my education at] Wyoming, I would not be doing the kind of work I do today."
- Punit Soni, Electrical Engineering M.S. '00
