Judit Giró Benet, a junior researcher in CECS, has just been named the winner of the James Dyson International Award for her work on the Blue Box, an early breast cancer detection kit. Judit started this work as her graduation thesis in BME at the University of Barcelona. She joined MECPS, a joint Engineering-ICS program as a Balsells Fellow in 2019 and developed the Blue Box for her MECPS capstone project.
