NSF Awards Grant to 妖姬直播 State Assistant Professor for Precision Dosing in Critical Care
Each year, more than 30 million patients receive fluid resuscitation therapies for critical care scenarios like hemorrhaging, sepsis and burns. Underdosing resuscitation strategies are inefficient at saving lives, while overdosing regimens may lead to resuscitation injuries and hypothermia. Hossein Mirinejad, assistant professor in the College of Aeronautics and Engineering, is hoping to help find the solution to dosing problems.
Graduate Student Perseverance Leads to Published Research on Stress Related to May 4, 1970 Anniversary
How long does a single traumatic event affect a person鈥檚 mental health? 妖姬直播 State graduate student Emily Rabinowitz鈥檚 research on this topic was recently published in the peer-reviewed Stress & Health: Journal of the International Society for the Investigation of Stress. Her paper 鈥淭he 50th Anniversary of May 4, 1970, Is Associated With Elevations of Distress but No Increase in Mental Health Symptoms鈥 was published in the November 2021 issue.
NSF Grant Leads to Modeling Novel Serial Robot Dynamics and Prototypes
The National Science Foundation recently awarded a two-year $198,978 grant to Tao Shen, assistant professor in the College of Aeronautics & Engineering, for the development of a compact, cable-driven serial robot that can be used in medical settings. Shen aims to build a robot with his students that will address the critical limitations that most current medical robots have.

Chirality Research: Will This New Insight Help Make Better Materials or Pharmaceuticals?
Chirality, or the absence of mirror symmetry in a molecule, is a complex topic that Material Sciences Professor Torsten Hegmann is determined to know more about. Hegmann, director of the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute, and other 妖姬直播 State collaborators led an international collaborative research project with contributions from a global team whose paper about the efficacy of chirality transfer in Science Advances may provide insights to make better materials or pharmaceuticals.
Understanding Impacts on LGBTQIA+ Communities from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Moira Armstrong, undergraduate in the College of Arts and Sciences and research assistant on the Queer Pandemic Project, collaborated with Molly Merryman, associate professor in the School of Peace and Conflict Studies, to compile digital, video-based oral interviews for the Queer Pandemic Project in a partnership between 妖姬直播 State University, Goldsmith鈥檚 University of London and Queer Britain. These interviews feature people in queer communities across the United Kingdom, discussing the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has impacted their lives as queer people.
New Lab Combines Mixed, Virtual and Haptic Technologies To Provide Realistic Simulations for Students or Patients
妖姬直播 State has opened its newest research center, the IC Touch Lab, that will revolutionize the way medical students practice and patients rehabilitate. Headed by Kwangtaek Kim, assistant professor of Computer Science, the lab conducts various research projects involving haptic technology to expand the possibilities of medical and rehabilitation practices.
Student Researcher Identifies Potential Alternative to Antibiotics
During a summer research project at 妖姬直播 State Geauga, nursing student Lauren Petrick succeeded in isolating a bacterial virus that shows promise as an alternative to antibiotics in fighting off intestinal bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, GI tract infections and even pneumonia. By teaming up with 妖姬直播 State Geauga Associate Professor Sanhita Gupta, Petrick tackled this problem through 妖姬直播 State University鈥檚 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) last summer.
