John Jensen and Dr. Adam T. Woolley, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction DNA origami is the method of folding a large single stranded DNA (ssDNA) with multiple smaller ssDNA “staple” strands into a predesigned shape, making it an attractive option in the bottom-up construction of nanoelectronic components, such as nanowires. These structures can be […]

Neurological Research to Supplement HMD Technology Development for the Benefit of Deaf and Hard-of-hearing Students
Tyler Foulger, Michael Jones, and Nathan Bench, BYU Computer Science Introduction: The purpose of this MRI study was an attempt to discover and understand how communication is processed via the neural pathways of children ages 8-10. Analysis of the data we obtained would possibly help us in better adapting our head-mounted display (HMD) technology for […]
The use of TeamSTEPPS® in the Development and implementation of staff nurse councils
Katreena Collette Merrill, Nursing Evaluation of Academic Objectives TeamSTEPPS training: As a result of this project, 395 number of students received training on TeamSTEPPS. Students created case studies and role play videos about communication in healthcare. In addition to the effect on the senior undergraduate nursing students and family nurse practitioner graduate students, we were […]
The role of Wnt signaling in normal muscle development and disease
Jeffery Barrow, Physiology and Developmental Biology My laboratory studies the role of Wnt signaling in regulating important events during embryogenesis. In order to better understand the function of this pathway, we study mouse mutants that lack the Porcupine (Porcn) gene which encodes a protein that is required for the secretion of all Wnt molecules. Prior […]
Development of Student Research Resources and Training Material for Functional and Structural MRI-Based Research at BYU
Professor Neal K Bangerter, Electrical & Computer Engineering and Professors Erin Bigler and Brock Kirwan, Psychology Overview This project was aimed at providing in-depth training and mentoring for a small group of students to address the large anticipated demand for accessible research and training resources at BYU’s new MRI Research Facility. The facility opened summer […]
Application of Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory to Art Education In a Multicultural Setting
Kaled Ostraff and Professor Dan Barney, Art Education Visual Arts Introduction My project’s aim was to apply Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory to art education. His theory describes the process children use to create views or schemas of the external world. He was “intrigued with the reasons children gave for their wrong answers” (McLeod, 2012). I […]
Kir2.1 Effects on Craniofacial and Limb Development in Knockout Mice
Joy Williams and Dr. Emily Bates, Biochemistry Department Introduction Birth defects arise because of both genetic and environmental factors. Children with genetic alteration of the inwardly-rectifying potassium ion channel Kir2.1 channel have heart arrhythmias, impaired cognitive function, and facial and limb abnormalities. Children that suffer from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome have cognitive and social development problems, […]
Development of a Surface Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect Magnetometer
Susan Stoffer Sorensen and Dr. Karine Chesnel, Physics Department The Kerr effect is a phenomenon in which as polarized visible light reflects off of a magnetized surface it experiences a small rotation in polarization. This is known as the Kerr rotation, denoted Δθ. This rotation is proportional to the magnetization of the sample, to a […]
Development of a Data Reduction Pipeline for the ROVOR Observatory
Thayne McCombs and Dr. Joseph Ward Moody, Physics and Astronomy Introduction The ROVOR observatory is a robotic, remotely controlled telescope in Delta, Utah. Since it is remotely controlled and semi-automated, it produces a very large amount of raw data. Unfortunately it took much longer to process and analyze the data than to acquire it, and, […]
Association of Rare Genetic Variants to the Development and Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease
Cameron Schmutz and Dr. Keoni Kauwe, Biology Department INTRODUCTION Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder and is the leading cause of dementia.1,3 It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and is the only one that has no adequate prevention or cure. AD is characterized by a progressive loss […]
