Nick has been awarded with the CHI Healthcare Fellowship to extend the research he initiated in melt electrospinning writing process this summer to the following Fall and Spring semester. His aims to use the MEW process for the engineering of an in vitro blood-brain barrier model.
William's project, Electrophysiological Biocomputer, extends his 2016 I&E and CHI fellowship project 3D Printing a Tissue Based Electrophysiological Model with a focus on the computational application of synthetic nervous tissue.
His submission, Effect of Scaffold Conductivity on Nerve Tissue Growth and Function, seeks to develop an empirical basis for the production of better synthetic nerve grafts as a robust, tunable, and high-fidelity in vitro model of nervous tissue.

William and Andrew are undegraduate students at Stevens and members of the BMBM lab. Their entry was related to the to the design of a high performance PID-controlled thermoelectric print bed. They have been invited to give a technical presentation of their prototype in the upcoming ASME Manufacturing Science and Engineering conference (MSEC 2016)!
