Huge congratulations to Ava Lloyd, Luke Jones, and Lily Nygard for their UROP Proposals being accepted and funded for the Spring 2025 semester! The Utah Undergraduate Research Program (UROP) funds students for up to two semesters of research. Each of these students submitted a project proposal under the direction of graduate and faculty mentors.
Ava is working in collaboration with an OT in the NRH to develop a walking aid for patients to use with parallel bars during gait rehabilitation.
Luke is working with MDs in the Emergency Medicine department to develop a sensorized glove to detect and prevent frostbite.
Lily is working to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on upper-limb spasticity after a stroke!
