CAAM student Wendy Knight '18 came to Rice for the basketball program and the endless opportunities on and off the court.
The award recognizes outstanding research achievements, as evidenced by publications, program development results, software and other research contributions.
Rice University CAAM undergraduates have developed a technique to simplify the placement of electrodes in the brains of patients with epilepsy.
Using powerful optimization methods, Schaefer and his colleagues sought to improve the accuracy of the decisions regarding which strains should be included in the vaccine. Waiting longer to determine the final composition of the vaccine, and observing which strains are emerging in other parts of the world, fine-tunes the accuracy of the selection, but results in an insufficient quantity of vaccine made in time for the start of flu season.
“There’s a deep appeal to mathematics in the kind of work I’m doing. It’s like peeling back a bit of reality and figuring out how to change it."
Congratulations to Wendy Knight, Evan Toler, and Alex Gardner! Their presentation of "Skewer Alignment for Skull Surgery" won today's CAAM Senior Design presentation.
