Selected Projects 20<strong>16</strong>-<strong>18</strong><br />

projects require countless amounts of planning, organization,<br />

and collaboration. I am thankful that I have<br />

developed these types of qualities during my time as<br />

an undergraduate researcher. My plan is to apply this<br />

research experience to graduate school, industry, and<br />

everyday life. Working on projects that are aimed to<br />

help restore health to many people will be something I<br />

always find highly motivational and invaluable.<br />

I would like to thank the Office of <strong>Undergrad</strong>uate<br />

Research for presenting me with this highly<br />

sought-after opportunity. I would also like to thank<br />

Dr. Lamya Karim, Rachana Vaidya, Taraneh Rezaee,<br />

Kelly Merlo, John Riordan, and the Mechanical and<br />

Civil & Environmental Engineering departments for<br />

all the help carrying out this project.<br />
