Join the rest of the Pratt School of Engineering Community in a special dedication of a special new place on our campus -- the Thomas E. Harrington E'66 GREAT IDEAS BENCH. The dedication will take place at the BENCH, located where Hudson Hall meets Harrington Engineering Quad.
Join Duke's Pratt School of Engineering during this week-long event celebrating how engineers make a difference in our world. More at pratt.duke.edu/e-week
Manual manipulation of traditional minimally invasive devices for life-saving surgery is time consuming with uncertain results. Steerable robotic micro-catheters and miniature endoscopes are essential to the operating room of the future, but lack the dexterity needed to navigate tortuous human anatomy. This talk introduces the design of three unique miniature robots: 1) A robotic catheter […]
Abstract: During cardiovascular development, peristaltic contraction of the embryonic heart tube produces time-varying hemodynamic forces and pressure gradients across the atrioventricular canal. However, the relative importance of myocardial contraction and hemodynamic force to modulate cardiovascular morphogenesis in the non-Newtonian flow regime remains poorly understood. By developing the 4-D light-sheet fluorescent microscope and post-imaging machine-learning algorithms, […]
