Brown Scholar Rishith Ramamurthy and His Team Win 2nd Place At the Biomedical Engineering Project Showcase
Brown Scholar Rishith Ramamurthy and his team won 2nd place at the Biomedical Engineering Project Showcase for their design of a novel Type I diabetes treatment that combines two separate subcutaneous devices- a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin infusion set. The device provides continuous glucose monitoring and tracks blood sugar while delivering insulin in […]
Brown Scholars Catherine Gunawan, Kaitlyn Hawkins, Melody Yeh, and Megan Guy Win 2nd Place at Aggies Invent – Para-Athletes
Brown Scholars Catherine Gunawan, Kaitlyn Hawkins, Melody Yeh, and Megan Guy won 2nd place at Aggies Invent- Para-Athletes. Engineering competitors had 48 hours to develop adaptive technologies, prosthetics, and equipment to allow para-athletes to better compete in events. The team created individualized equipment for para-cyclists with imbalanced leg strengths to improve their strength, reduce strain, and […]
Adam Zheng and his team Win Best Overall project in the NASA Pale Blue Dot: Visualization Challenge
Adam Zheng (codename: Atomic Tiger) and his international team, Viva Aqua , participated in the NASA Pale Blue Dot: Visualization Challenge, and was one of five teams who achieved 1st place among 1,600 world-wide participants from 100 different countries with 130+ submissions. Viva Aqua’s goal was to reduce costs associated with hydrogeological surveying by using […]
Brown Scholars Abhinaya Murugandandham, Fouzul Kansul, And Rachel Kurian Win 3rd Place At Aggie Pitch For Spoon-track
Brown Scholars Abhinaya Murugandandham, Fouzul Kansul, and Rachel Kurian won 3rd place at Aggie Pitch for their design of Spoon-Track, a medical adherence device for organ transplant patients that tracks medication consumption and flags non-compliance for immediate physician intervention. Their design was created in response to medication noncompliance, a leading cause of organ rejection in the […]
