Selected Projects 20<strong>16</strong>-<strong>18</strong><br />
In the summer of 2017 I was granted a grant from<br />
the OUR to join Bioengineering Professor Dr. Lamya<br />
Karim’s lab and worked alongside undergraduate<br />
Bioengineering student John Riordan to conduct<br />
a research project concerning the testing of the<br />
properties of bone that were placed in a simulated<br />
diabetic environment. This was an interdisciplinary<br />
project that allowed us to work with techniques from<br />
bioengineering, mechanical engineering, biochemistry,<br />
and biology. Ever since I took a class in Biomechanics<br />
in the third year of undergraduate studies,<br />
I have been interested in exploring the mechanical<br />
properties of human body tissues such as bone.<br />
Through this OUR-funded project, I exercised this<br />
interest through hands on research and design.<br />
