At this year’s Engineering Showcase, students presented a variety of projects that demonstrated their ability to apply interdisciplinary topics, such as regenerative medicine, to engineering ⚙️
This year, Sebastian Herrera Vargas (Applied Human Physiology ‘26) and Neera Gajendran (Biochemistry ‘26) took first place with their project, “Biometric Approaches for Next-Generation Biomaterials” 🔬
The duo’s project stems from a research initiative in which their group introduced a novel approach to biomedical healing and tissue regeneration. Their research project, advised by Fowler Engineering faculty member Dr. Andrew Lyon, aims to address longstanding challenges in injury recovery.
Congratulations to everyone who presented at this year’s Engineering Showcase! 🐾
