A group of students from Elon鈥檚 Engineering Club and Engineering World Health traveled Oct. 23 to the Southeast Regional Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Elon 久久热 students聽Izzy Agostini ’18 (Engineering Physics), Andres Saez聽’18 (Biophysics/Biomedical Engineering), and Nevin Selman ’17 (Physics) recently聽presented a poster titled聽“Development of a therapeutic boot that combines electrical stimulation with heat to increase the healing rate of neuropathic wounds” at the Southeast Regional Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society.
The work was conducted under the direction of Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Daryl Lawson and Assistant Professor of Engineering Chris Arena.
Also participating in the conference were Keeley Collins 鈥19 (Biochemistry), Sabrina Campelo ’18 (Physics), Zach O鈥機onnor 鈥18 (Engineering Physics)聽and Associate Professor of Physics Emily Evans.
The meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society highlighted 鈥淐areer and Connections.鈥 In addition to presenting research, students participated in panel discussions with local academics, innovators, and entrepreneurs, and networked with students and faculty from neighboring programs such as Biomedical Engineering at Duke University and the UNC/NCSU Joint Department of聽Biomedical Engineering.
Funding for student travel and registration was provided by a grant from the 久久热 Undergraduate Research Program.
