For people who use manual wheelchairs, pushing the wheels is not just transportation – it’s independence and physical activity. But the repetitive force required can take a toll over time on the nerves in hands and wrists. Brooke Slavens, professor …
Cancer research often demands patience – hours of labeling 3D images, tracing tumor boundaries pixel by pixel before the real work can even begin. In Associate Professor Mahsa Dabagh’s lab, artificial intelligence is reshaping how researchers predict and treat disease. …
Four researchers in the college recently have been awarded funding from the UWM Research Foundation to further projects that aim to better facilitate renewable energy sources, find circulating cancer cells, and provide robotic physical therapy to patients confined to a …
While Jacob Rammer was still a PhD student, he and his advisor built a human motion analysis lab on a shoestring budget – using off-the-shelf parts instead of expensive commercial systems. Their goal? To provide functional, affordable technology to hospitals …
Brooke Slavens, Richard and Joanne Grigg Professor of Mechanical Engineering, has been awarded the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. The award is highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers early in their …
UW-Green Bay has hired two recent alums as faculty members in their Richard J. Resch School of Engineering. The school is part of the College of Science, Engineering and Technology. Md Rasedul Islam (’20 PhD, Mechanical Engineering) is an associate professor …
A longstanding problem with stroke patients left with restricted functioning of their hands is that many miss their physical therapy appointments, slowing their already incremental recovery pace. Habib Rahman, Richard and Joanne Grigg Professor and mechanical engineering chair, is working …
Welcome Ashwin Kumar Narasimhan, a new visiting assistant professor in biomedical engineering. Narasimhan comes to UWM from Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada, where he was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. Narasimhan holds a Ph.D. …
Spectrum News featured student researchers in the biorobotics lab of Associate Professor Habib Rahman, as they demonstrated the robotic arm they have created for people who use a wheelchair and have limited use of their upper body. The report, which …
Nuclear imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET), provides superior sensitivity and specificity. That is why PET is widely used in hospitals to detect and stage different types of cancers in the body. However, the resolution of PET images is …
