Sasha Portnova is presenting her research on 3D-printed wrist-driven hand orthoses today in The International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR). The conference is an annual multidisciplinary forum that connects students from universities in seven countries across the world. Sasha was the sole person selected from the ME department at UW to present. Great work, Sasha!

Lab Featured in the College of Engineering Video
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.
