Prof. Ender Finol has been awarded an NIH R21 grant, entitled "A
Fluid-Structure Interaction Method for Patient-Specific Cardiovascular Modeling". The project is to develop an efficient computational methodology for analyzing strongly coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) for domains with multiple materials. Prof. Finol has in addition received two supplemental awards for this grant, which will enable him to hire post-doctoral fellows.

Graduate student Sanna Gaspard received an Honorable Mention Graduate Student Research Award at the 2009 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting. Her study is entitled "A Point-of-Care Device for Quantitative Stage-I Pressure Ulcer Diagnosis Regardless of Skin Color".

Biomedical Engineering seniors Rebecca Asher, Ryan Chehanske, Marina Musicus, and Julie Ng are inducted as Andrew Carnegie Society Scholars. The award is given to students who show not only academic excellence but also multi-dimensional characteristics such as volunteerism, involvement in student organizations, participation in sports or the arts, and leadership.

Prof. Jelena Kovacevic delivered a plenary lecture, entitled "Problems in Biological Imaging: Opportunities for Mathematical Signal Processing", at the 14th General Meeting of European Women in Mathematics held in Novi Sad, Serbia on August 25-28, 2009.

Prof. James Antaki received ARRA funding from NIH to study a new technique of treating malaria through magnetic separation technology.  As over 500 million people worldwide are afflicted with the disease, the project is expected to have an enormous impact.
