During the summer we had film crews observing our lab and the labs of fellow engineers across our campus. Take a look at the finished video, HERE, promoting the College of Engineering. Go Dawgs!

Congratulations to Gaurav Mukherjee, Emerging Leaders in Science & Society 2016
Gaurav will join the Emerging Leaders in Science & Society (ELISS) with a class of graduate and professional students from a wide range of disciplines from five partner campuses: Purdue, UW-Seattle, Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, and UC-Irvine. ELISS prepares and empowers their fellows to take a collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to solving real-world problems. Congratulations!
Gaurav Mukherjee is featured in the CSNE blog
Gaurav helped name the “Engage and Enable” blog for the Center For Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE). Follow this link to read the blog post by Mary Guiden and learn about how our lab is involved with the incredible CSNE community.
Congratulations – Ben Shuman is awarded a UWIN Neural Engineering Graduate Fellowship.
Our PhD student, Ben Shuman, has been selected as a Graduate Fellow for the UW Institute for Neuroengineering. The UWIN Fellowship provides two years of support and is a highly prestigious and selective competition. Congratulations, Ben!
Ben’s research uses clinically measured muscle activations (electromyographic data) and the framework of muscle synergies to determine patient specific measures of motor control. His work seeks to examine whether muscle synergies are predictive of or related to clinical treatment outcomes such as improved walking function in patients with cerebral palsy.
Lab featured in ME Video
The Ability & Innovation Lab was featured in the College of Engineering’s Video on mechanical engineering. Hopefully we can help to get more future engineers interested in working with the ultimate machine! Sylvie and Gaurav did a fantastic job sharing their experiences and future ambitions working as mechanical engineers.
