Farnoush Shafiei
In 2021, Farnoush Shafiei worked in the Agarwal Lab. During this time she focused on micro- and meso-mechanics of agarose hydrogels. More specifically, she conducted tensor testing and indentation testing of mechanical properties of a growth hydrogel of different concentrations. Learn more about Farnoush and her work below!
Colette Towles
Colette worked in the Bishop Lab getting acquainted with CAD software by building a 3D printer. She also used Python to code a temperature sensor for one of the labs in the photonics center. Learn more about Colette and her work below!
Jourdan Watson
Under the supervision of Helen Fawcett, Jourdan worked with Gabriel Hubbard on building and programming a robotic hand. In addition to coding the behavior, Jourdan helped developed robotic hand-focused curriculum for use in middle and high school classrooms. Learn more about Jourdan and his work below!
Jack Zamen
In the summer of 2021, Jack Zamen joined the Bifano Lab. As part of his research experience, he designed and implemented a system to electrically stimulate and pace engineered heart tissue. This pacing is important to maturing the cells. Learn more about Jack and his work below!
