New 3-D Ultrasound Could Improve Stroke Diagnosis, Care
DURHAM, N.C. – Using 3-D ultrasound technology they designed, Duke University bioengineers can compensate for the thickness and unevenness of the skull to see in real-time the arteries within the brain that most often clog up and cause strokes. The researchers believe that these advances will ultimately improve the treatment of ...Clare Boothe Luce Fellows Two Years Later
Two years after receiving prestigious fellowships designed to support women scientists, three Pratt graduate students are well into their research with such diverse projects as brain-computer interfaces, nanoparticle exposures and a new method for breast cancer screening. In 2006, Katie Hedlund, Christine Robichaud and Christina Shafer were named Clare Boothe Luce ...Joseph Izatt Elected SPIE Fellow
SPIE, the international society for the science and application of light, has elected Duke biomedical engineering professor Joseph Izatt a fellow of the society. This year SPIE chose only 72 new fellows worldwide. Fellows are members of distinction who have made significant scientific and technical contributions in the multidisciplinary fields of ...Novel Living System Recreates Predator-Prey Interaction
DURHAM, N.C. – The hunter-versus-hunted phenomenon exemplified by a pack of lionesses chasing down a lonely gazelle has been recreated in a Petri dish with lowly bacteria. Working with colleagues at Caltech, Stanford and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a Duke University bioengineer has developed a living system using genetically altered ...Meet the New Faculty: Matt Reynolds
Making home technology to meet needs By Marla Vacek Broadfoot Durham, NC -- Talk to Matt Reynolds about his work and chances are he'll quote his favorite piece of trivia exemplifying the value of technology in our lives. Here it is: By the year 2005, more transistors -- tiny electrical gadgets ...

Dolbow Young Investigator Award
Critics are always looking for flaws and defects. Like critics, John Dolbow is also interested in defects, but not for their ability to detract from a finished product, but for the vast potential in better understanding and harnessing their potential. More specifically, he meticulously follows the process of materials as ...Justin Jaworski -- 2008 Student Dean's Mentoring Award Winnner
Justin Jaworski exemplifies the common belief that music and mathematics are not as distinct as they might appear on the surface. The fourth-year graduate student whose interests lie in studying the phenomenon of flutter in flexible objects such as airplane wings or bridges is also a consummate singer, having spent his ...Sebastian Liska, Pratt Fellow, Envisions Planes on Folded Wings
Pratt Undergraduate Research Fellow Sebastian Liska imagines a day when airplane wings might fold themselves up during flight, not unlike the flexible wings of a bird. That quality would give planes the adaptability to complete complicated, multitask missions. "You might enhance fuel efficiency with extended wings and increase maneuverability with shorter ...Industry News View All Industry News
