University of Connecticut student Morgan DaSilva has been conducting research this summer in our Medical Robotics Lab as part of UGA’s Nanotechnology and Biomedicine Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Morgan’s helping the lab develop a portable device capable of monitoring variations in blood volumes using magnetohydrodynamic voltages. The device can be used to assess tissue health, monitor patient rehabilitation, and track the progression of wound healing.

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.
