This summer, our lab hosted Caden Hamrick through the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR). SPUR sponsors undergraduate students as full-time researchers for a 10-week program. Caden applied and was accepted to this program and completed his research through our lab. Caden was a dedicated worker and used his experience in deep learning to develop a control method to determine hand gestures and intensities from electromyographic muscle signals. Caden’s work contributes to the EMG wristband project that will be used for controlling smart devices around the home. Caden Presented his research at a University-wide symposium on August 4th.

Caden will be starting his senior year in Computer Engineering at Mercer University in Georgia this fall.
