The Center for Diversity and Inclusion sponsored this year’s MiCUP/MI-LSAMP Research Gallery Poster Session held on Thursday, June 20, at the Ballroom Michigan Tech Memorial Union.
The event recognizes the research of students participating in the seven-week Michigan College/University Partnership Program (MiCUP) and the Michigan Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (MI-LSAMP) Program here at Michigan Tech.
Michigan Tech has for many years partnered with MI-LSAMP to continue the shared goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minority and first-generation students in STEM and non-STEM fields. The College of Engineering and Engineering departments participate in the program with several faculty and graduate students, labs and facilities.
A few examples of the research work:
- “Patient Specific Computer Fluid Models for the Study of Aneurysms”; Crystal Juarez and Dr. Jingfeng Jiang, Biomedical Engineering;
- “Monitoring Suture Load Post Rotator Cuff Repair”; Paige Raad, Andrew DeRouin (graduate student mentor), and Dr. Keat Ghee Ong, Biomedical Engineering;
- “Prosthetic Limbs Controlled by Electromyography”; Adam Patrick, Guilherme Ribeiro (graduate student mentor) and Dr. Mo Rastgaar Mechanical Engineering
- “Improving Glider for Underwater Problem-solving and Promotion of Interest in Engineering”; Duy Nguyen, Donna Fard (graduate student mentor) and Dr. Nina Mahmoudian, Mechanical Engineering
