Skin-on-a-Chip: 3D Modeling and Optimization

This project provides hands-on research experience while supporting the development of a skin-on-a-chip device in the Nikkhah Lab. The work involves collaborating with a PhD student to 3D print, assemble, and test prototype designs while learning the scientific background behind the model. It will also include the use of simulation tools to analyze and better…

Quantifying Workflow Inefficiencies in Pediatric Orphan Medical Devices: A Clinical Immersion Experience

Pediatric medical devices are often adapted from adult designs, leading to inefficiencies in clinical procedures. This project analyzes workflow challenges in pediatric settings by measuring device changes, manual corrections, and procedure time during clinical immersion at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The results highlight how non-pediatric-specific devices increase clinician workload and identify opportunities for improved device design….

Optimization and Evaluation of k-Space Undersampling Strategies for Accelerated Deuterium CSI

This project focuses on improving the efficiency of Deuterium Chemical Shift Imaging (CSI) by optimizing k-space undersampling strategies and reconstruction performance. Undersampling mask strategies including pseudorandom, a priori (FLASH, T1W, T2W), and a central weighted variable density mask were evaluated across multiple acceleration factors. Reconstruction accuracy was quantified using normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE)…

Engineering Polymeric Nanoparticle Systems to Modulate Leptin Synthesis and Adipocyte Metabolism

The growing obesity epidemic in the United States has led to a cascade of health problems throughout the population. One of the most prominent side effects of obesity is loss of proper adipose tissue (AT) function, which then leads to increasing levels of leptin production, overexpression of inflammatory cytokines, insulin resistance, and ultimately debilitating conditions…

Identification of Deer Mouse Populations across Madrean Sky Islands

Due to the unreliable nature of visual identification of deer mice in the field, we aimed to use a species-specific gene (cytochrome b) to characterize Peromyscus species within the Santa Catalina mountains of the Madrean Sky Islands. By extracting DNA using ear tissue, amplifying the cytochrome b gene, and ensuring its presence using gel electrophoresis,…

Large-Load Contingency Events Grid Simulator

This project addresses the gap between NERC’s traditional contingency framework designed around traditional generation and transmission systems and the rapid, large-scale load swings introduced by hyperscale data centers connecting to the transmission grid. It takes the form of a physical, button-triggered 3-bus transmission simulator that uses motors, LEDs, and real-time displays to demonstrate how sudden…
