Daewon Park, assistant professor of bioengineering, received an R21 grant from the National Eye Institute with his research titled “A Functional Reverse Thermal Gel for Retinal Ganglion Cell Axon Regeneration.” With this grant, Dr. Park will develop a bioinspired neurotrophic factor-releasing system for the regeneration of damaged retinal ganglion cell axon. This research will provide a platform of material-based treatment methodology of neural protection and regeneration.

“There are so many organizations that promote social and technical growth,” Kelly said. “From National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) , Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), to Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE), AI Student Association, LYNX Robotics … there is a club here for everyone. I have met so many friends outside of school, gained internship offers, and even industry connections from taking the first step to join these clubs.”
