Undergraduate Matt Miller is helping researchers in the UGA College of Engineering design sensors that will help surgeons guide catheters with more precision during heart catheterization procedures. A senior at the University of California, Berkeley, Matt is also working on an imaging device that would be attached to heart catheters to provide clearer images to surgeons. Matt is one of ten promising scholars from across the U.S. selected to participate in the UGA College of Engineering’s Nanotechnology and Biomedicine Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) this summer.

The REU program will provide an interdisciplinary research experience at the interface of micro-/nano-technology and biomedicine to undergraduate students from other institutions, leveraging the diverse interdisciplinary expertise, resources, and training opportunities in this area at University of Georgia (UGA).

Students will participate in interdisciplinary research projects that apply micro-/nano-technology to specific biomedical questions. Each REU student will be co-mentored by paired faculty from the nanotechnology and biomedical disciplines on a collaborative research project. In addition to a total-immersion, hands-on research experience, students will participate in enriching activities that will include ethics-in-science workshop; weekly career development seminars; research seminars; educational field trips; participation in conferences in nanotechnology and biomedicine.
