Grace Tan will be mentored by Dr. Natalia Trayanova. Her project will focus on using a computational model of a three-dimensional cardiac tissue wedge to study how structural and biophysical remodeling that occurs in heart failure influences vulnerability of the heart to arrhythmic wave patterns . Grace is a rising junior in the Biomedical Engineering program.
Charlie Ouyang will be mentored by Dr. Rene Vidal. His project is titled “Nonlinear Filters for Tracing 3-D Purkinje Networks in Cardiac Images.” Timothy is a rising junior in the Biomedical Engineering program.
These students are being awarded a $5000 stipend for a 10 week long research project, sponsored by a generous donation from Raj and Neera Singh.
