"One of my projects for high school was to make a pacemaker for an earthworm using a monolithic timer. The earthworm has a series of heart chambers lined up in parallel so I was interested in pacing them with the timer. I suppose I’ve always had an interest in combining medicine and engineering."

Ben Wilks, a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering, was awarded a Student Scientist Award for the 2017 TERMIS-AM Conference.  The conference took place December 3-6, 2017 in Charlotte, NC.

"I’m very proud of receiving the Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship for my work and, more generally, learning how to persevere through experiments that aren’t working and eventually figure out the solution of something that you’ve been working on for months is rewarding."
