 Taking up challenges
When looking up at the side of a cliff, Dane Powell, mechanical engineering graduate student, sees opportunity to climb high when others may see an insurmountable obstacle.
UNDERGRAD RESEARCH
 Mathematical Model of a Single Ventricle Heart
The object of this research was to determine how the abnormal geometry of a a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) withstands the stresses and strains to which a normal heart is subjected. The TCPC is used in treating some congenital heart defects. The project’s goal was to develop a computational model of the solid mechanics of a single-ventricle heart.
