Three Undergraduate Researchers Awarded Summer Fellowships!

NeuroRobotics Lab Undergraduates Elaine Wong, Rebecca Urban and Kennedy Powell received research fellowships for Summer 2021 through theĀ Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. This competitive research fellowship provides a $1,200 stipend and educational programming for undergraduate researcher to carry out a project of their own under the supervision of a faculty member. The awarded proposals were:

  • Elaine Wong, "Wireless Miniature Wearable Surface Electromyography Device for Intuitive Control of Smart Technology"
  • Rebecca Urban, "Discriminability of Electrocutaneous Sensory Feedback"
  • Kennedy Powell, "Robotic Supernumerary Digit to Explore Biological Control of External Devices and Shared Human-Machine Dexterity"

Abby Citterman wins first place presentation!

Congratulations to Abby Citterman for winning first place for her poster presentation at the Utah Biomedical Engineering Conference! Abby's research explores how electrocutaneous sensory feedback is perceived - providing insight into the neural basis of touch and guiding the development of novel sensorized bionic devices.
