Sabelhaus Receives NSF CAREER Award
Andrew Sabelhaus , Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department, recently received the prestigious Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation. Sabelhaus plans to develop soft robots that can be used for healthcare applications such as drawing blood, checking blood pressure, and administering flu shots or nasal swabs. These robots could perform such tasks at local pharmacies or health centers, providing healthcare to a more diverse population and making it more accessible for those who might otherwise be unable to afford it. Additionally, Sabelhaus aims to build a more diverse robotics workforce.
