Matthew Usevitch and Alonzo Cook, Department of Chemical Engineering Introduction: The purpose of this project is to further understand the function of extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes in the pursuit of creating an implantable, removable pancreas device. This device would be filled with pancreas cells and automatically regulate blood sugar for patients with diabetes. Dr. Alonzo […]

Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
Jaron Lundwall and Alonzo Cook, Department of Chemical Engineering Introduction Due to accident-related neural damage, many people’s lives are impaired or limited in what they can do. Current medical practices are limited at helping distal and proximal nerve stubs regenerate. Many recent research studies have focused on trying to improve this problem by understanding how […]
Safety Analysis of a Flashing Drum Steam Generation System
Jacob Ladd with Cade Memmott, Chemical Engineering Introduction The goal of the Integral, Inherently Safe Light Water Reactor (I2S-LWR) Research Project is to design a more inherently safe reactor. This reactor is capable of cooling the core with no external power and no operator action.[1] In the I2S-LWR design, micro-channel heat exchangers (MCHX) facilitate heat […]
Analysis of the kinetics and recombinatorial mechanisms of HIV-1 evolution in vivo in humanized mice
Bradford Berges, MEG 2013 Final Report (submitted Oct 2015) Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met Several of my students have moved on to future positions, as follows: Medical school: Sterling Adams, German Cuadra, Art Lee (still interviewing), and Tyler White (still interviewing) Graduate school: Steve Hallam See below in […]
Geometric Optimization, Analysis, and Design
Faculty Advisor: Denise Halverson 1. Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The goals for the mentoring environment were reached: Academic Development – Each student had the opportunity to work on a cutting edge research problem, as indicated below. Papers are in various stages of completion, a few submitted or […]
Mentored Environment for Isogeometric Analysis
Kevin Tew and Michael Scott The mentored environment for isogeometric analysis (IGA) has trained engineering and computer science students to develop isogeometric numerical methods and accompanying software to solve challenging problems in science and engineering. The mentoring environment consisted of: Weekly group meetings where research concepts were discussed, scientific literature was reviewed, and progress was […]
Ligament microstructure analysis
Michael Gillespie and Jonathan Wisco, Physiology and Developmental Biology Introduction Due to the relatively poor fiber contrast of tendons in comparison with muscles, the anatomical, and therefore, functional relationship of muscle attachments to bones via tendons has not been well mapped. We were interested in mapping the 3D gross anatomical structure of tendons using a […]
Analysis of HMGCR as a Genetic Modifier for Alzheimer’s Disease
Brian Davis and Dr. John S.K. Kauwe, Biology Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that occurs predominantly later in life and represents the fourth most common cause of death in the developed world. Given the absence of curative treatment, discovering the factors related to the development of AD and the conversion from […]
Mergers and Acquisitions Document Vector Space Analysis
Steven Fortney and Faculty Mentor: Karl Diether, Finance Brief Overview of Methodology and Results This project involved looking at Mergers and Acquisitions and a textual analysis of their SEC filings. We index, clean and match documents in the SEC EDGAR database to the CRSP and Compustat databases in order to consider multiple instruments for “specificity” […]
Teacher Quality and Well-Being: a Q-Squared Analysis
Lisa Keovongsa and MacLeans A. Geo-Jaja, Educational Leadership & Foundations Introduction Literature review argues that teachers are the most important element in determining the quality of a national education system (Gopinathan 2006). While quality education is often defined in the narrower sense of measurable outcomes, teachers still play an equally significant role in achieving widespread […]
