John Stout and Dr. Aaron Hawkins, Department of Electrical Engineering The silver flash project is an effort to create a reliable, MEMs based memory device. As a joint electrical and mechanical structure these devices offer several advantages over the traditional NAND flash memory currently found in phones, mp3 players, and USB memory drives. The silver […]

Power Harvesting System for More Efficient, Cleaner Burning Cookstoves
Suman Pokharel and Dr Matthew Jones, Department of Mechanical Engineering Each day more than 2 billion people cook using open fires or fires in primitive cook stoves that are fueled with biomass (wood, straw, crop waste, dung, etc…). These fires pollute homes and the environment, leading to serious health problems and contributing to global climate change. […]
Radio-Frequency Microfluidic Interferometer in Printed Circuit Board Process
Shiul Khadka and Dr. Brian Mazzeo, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Abstract In this project, we developed a process to integrate microfluidic channels on standard radio- frequency (RF) A 10.56 GHz RF microstrip interferometer was fabricated using the proposed technique and used to compare electrical responses for liquids with various dielectric properties and thereby […]
Using Photolithographically-Produced Micro-Channels with Controlled Pores to Create a Bacteria Filter for Blood
Sara Ehlert and Dr. Aaron Hawkins, Department of Electrical Engineering The importance of blood to humans cannot be understated. Its important functions include transporting oxygen and nutrients around the body, preventing blood loss, fighting infection, carrying antibodies to fight infection, delivering waste products to the kidneys and liver to be removed from the body, and […]
New Capabilities in Large-scale Models in Computational Biology
Casey Abbott and Dr. John Hedengren, Department of Chemical Engineering Advances in biomedical research have lead to an increase of experimental data to be interpreted in the context of reaction pathways, molecular transport, and population dynamics. Kinetic modeling is one way employed to interpret this data and is used in the pharmaceutical industry in developing […]
The TiLAR Project: Analyzing Unregulated and Non- Engagement Behaviors During Intervention in Children with Low Functioning Autism
Tayler Whitmer and Dr. Bonnie Brinton, Department of Communication Disorders The Therapist in the Loop: Assistive Robotics (TiLAR) project is a broad-based research study that seeks to improve joint attention in children with low-functioning autism by using a humanoid robot in concert with traditional intervention. The goal of this project was to monitor the frequency […]
PHARM: An Environment for Physical Acoustics Research and Mentoring
Dr. Kent Gee, Department of Physics and Astronomy Mentoring Environment Overview PHARM (PHysical Acoustics Research and Mentoring) has been operating partially with support from a MEG grant since 2009. The primary purpose of this mentoring environment is to provide undergraduates in physics and applied physics opportunities to gain experience in fundamental areas of physical acoustics. […]
Programming Literacy Needs to be a Core Content Standard: A Case Study of Teaching 7th and 8th Grade Students Computer Programming
Dr. Geoffrey Wright, School of Technology Just as typing has replaced calligraphy and hand-writing as the most common form of written language, programming is ready to replace many domains of the English language. Regardless of whether you perceive this, as negative or positive, programming is how many students are communicating. In a recent study (paper) […]
International Public Health and Adolescent Health in Thailand
Dr. Randy Page, Department of Health Sciences Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met Outcome 1: Students will gain a deep understanding of international public health through the opportunity to study in-depth the public health experience of a specific country undergoing rapid social and economic transition (Thailand). This outcome was […]
