- 2. Hedgeland, p. 2 COLLABORATIVE RESEARCHER Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA May 2013 May 2014 & Geisingers Weis Center for Research, Danville, PA Combined interdisciplinary practices to develop procedures for obtaining 3D digital models of embryonic chick and mouse hearts and novel method of material property testing. Evaluated and combined many biological procedures. Worked toward goal of determining the role hemodynamics plays in formation of congenital heart defects SENIOR CAPSTONE PROJECT Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA August 2014 May 2014 Worked with team of three other peers to develop a device to objectively reassess the fall risk of post- op inpatients Gained skills in design process, especially in areas of : problem definition, feasibility testing, and client interaction Very clinically facing process; current prototype heavily incorporates: system dynamics, electronics, software, and biomechanics. Developed and carried out own feasibility and verification testing.
