She will receive a $2,000 award to put toward her educational goals. The award was created in 1998 in honor of former Emeritus R.H. Nagel, and is awarded to recipients based on academic standing, extracurricular activities, faculty recommendation, and their potential contributions to the engineering industry. Jack Wallace '20, biomedical engineering, was a member of the gold medal- winning U.S. sled hockey team at the Paralympic Winter Games in South Korea in March. Wallace, who lost his right leg in a boating accident, hopes to one day develop prosthetic limbs. "I was always interested in technology and science," he says, "always interested in the human body and how it works." STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Xuefeng Wei presented his co-authored paper "Computational Study of a Novel Time- Varying Stimulation Paradigm for Deep Brain Stimulation" at the annual meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society in Phoenix in October. Dale Johnson '18, Rose LoPiano '18, Samantha Moorzitz '19, Aakhila Rameeza '18, Saveetha Raghupathi '18, Amulya Veldanda '18, and Samantha Zanetti '18 presented their research posters at the event. Senior mechanical engineering majors Adam Novotny and Christopher Stabile presented their work at The American Society of Mechanical Engineers' International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition Conference in Tampa in November. Novotny presented "Numerical Analysis on the Influence of Taper Junction Corrosion Profile With Emphasis on Ti-Alloy Modular Hip Arthroplasty," co- authored with Manish Paliwal, chair of the mechanical engineering department. Stabile presented "Stochastic Simulation of Diffusive Behavior of Macromolecules Encapsulated in Electrospun Fibers: A Parametric Study," co- authored with Karen Chang Yan, professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering. Forty members of the STEM Educators Society participated in this year's Technology and Engineering Education Collegiate Association's Eastern Regional Conference held in Virginia Beach in November. The students participated in various professional development activities and competed in various competitions. Of the 10 challenges, the school's chapter placed first in four, second in two, and third in one. Associate Professor of Civil Engineering Thomas Brennan presented two research papers at the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting held in Washington, D.C., in January. The first, "Performance Measures for Characterizing Regional Congestion Using Aggregated Multiyear Probe Vehicle Data," analyzed speed data in an effort to better understand congestion. This research was done over MUSE during the summer of 2017 with two junior civil engineering students, Anthony LaRegina and Ashley Hyde. The second, "Enhancing Traffic Enforcement Strategies Using Speed Data," was co-authored with Stephen Remias at Wayne State University. Phil Franco '19, electrical engineering, presented his paper "Using Timed Petri Nets to Regulate Optimal Game Strategy" at the 33rd International Conference on Computers and Their Applications. His co-author Pat Hansen '19, computer engineering, and faculty advisor Seung-yun Kim, assistant professor in the electrical and computer engineering department, were also in attendance. The event, which was sponsored by the International Society for Computers and Their Applications, was held in Las Vegas in March. CONFERENCE CORNER
