Thayer School faculty and PhD students present innovative engineering research in medicine, energy technologies, and complex systems. Their ongoing work crosses traditional engineering disciplines to address critical human needs.
Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth
Dartmouth engineering Ph.D. student Tanille Paniogue talks about her work in improving wear properties in replacement hips and knees under advisor and professor of engineering Douglas Van Citters.
Dartmouth engineering Ph.D. student Alden Adolph is studying snow albedo as part of New Hampshire EPSCoR's "Ecosystems and Society" project focusing on the effect of climate change on local communities. Her advisor is Mary Albert, Professor of Engineering and Executive Director of the U.S. Ice Drilling Program Office.
Dartmouth engineering Ph.D. candidate Adam Glaser talks about his research in Čerenkov fluorescence medical imaging, under advisor and Professor of Engineering Brian Pogue.
Dartmouth engineering Ph.D. candidate Rebecca Williams talks about her research in autonomous crevasse detection with the Yeti robot, under advisor and professor of engineering Laura Ray.
Dartmouth Ph.D. Innovation Program candidate Steve Reinitz talks about his work developing new materials to improve joint replacements in the orthopedic biomaterials laboratory.
Dartmouth engineering major Yves Marie Duperval '14 is working on photovoltaic systems research in Thayer School's power electronics lab. The project aims to make solar panels more efficient.
Dartmouth junior and engineering major Maame Afua Ofori is conducting research in Professor Ackerman's lab on human immune system response dynamics to help develop better treatments for diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
Dartmouth engineering Ph.D. candidate Adam Glaser discusses his research with optics and radiation therapy in the Radiation Oncology Suite at Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Medical Center.
Professor Solomon Diamond describes his lab's effort to create the tools that will help "unravel the mysteries" of Alzheimer's disease.
Clare Boothe Luce fellow and Ph.D. Innovation Program candidate Regina Salvat discusses her work in the biotechnology lab de-immunizing beta-lactamase enzymes used in cancer therapy.
Professor Keith Paulsen, Director of the Advanced Imaging Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, talks about Dartmouth researchers' breast-cancer imaging techniques that go beyond mammography.
Ph.D. candidate Ashley Laughney talks about using near-infrared light to help distintuish between normal and tumor tissue during surgery.
