2001 Rocky Mountain
Bioengineering Symposium
The April 2001 Rocky Mountain Bioengineering
Symposium was held at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Five students and
three faculty attended from Rose-Hulman.
Drs.
Ahmed, Stamper and Waite were the three faculty who attended the 38th
annual Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium held April 20 - 22 at Copper
Mountain, Colorado. In addition to the three faculty members, five
Rose-Hulman students also attended Senior M.E. David Moser placed
10th overall in the student paper competition with, ANew range of light-activated
surgical adhesives for tissue repair. Dr. Karen McNally
and biomedical engineering graduate student Jill Riley were
co-authors with Moser on this paper. Senior M.E. Travis
Gilmore presented, An improved laser-assisted vascular tissue fusion
using light-activated surgical adhesive on a porcine model.
This paper was authored by Riley and McNally but presented at the
RMBS by Gilmore. Biomedical engineering graduate student Matt
Kuester presented, A kinematic constraint analysis of halo orthoses.
Mechanical engineering professor Dr. Rick Stamper was a co-author
with Kuester on this paper.
Undergraduate ME Adam AufderHeide also
won third place in the student poster competition at the Rocky Mountain
Bioengineering Symposium with Design of a pressurization chamber for recordings
of retinal blood flow in the in-vivo eyecup preparation in the rat.
Adam received a $250 award and a certificate for his efforts. Dr.
Jameel Ahmed was co-author with AufderHeide on the paper on
which the poster is based.
