On any given day, the College of Engineering’s diverse and dedicated faculty members are producing significant research contributions through peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly books and book chapters. Learn more about those contributions in this month’s Faculty Research Roundup. If you would like your work to be included in a future faculty roundup, submit your research here.
Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering Professor Kristen Cardinal’s research lab recently published their work, “Evaluation of Vessel Injury After Simulated Catheter Use in an Endothelialized Silicone Model of the Intracranial Arteries,” in the journal Neuroradiology. Cardinal’s lab focuses on creating “living” vessel models to evaluate vascular devices, including the creation of vessels in complex neurovascular geometries to evaluate vessel injury due to devices used to treat strokes.
Students Alyssa McCulloch (biomedical engineering) and Bree Yang (biomedical engineering) contributed to the article as well as two collaborators from Stryker’s Neurovascular Division.
Cardinal also shared this work during a podium presentation at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery’s annual conference in August 2023.
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Computer science and software engineering Professor Zachary Peterson and computer science master’s student Elaine Lau presented their work, “A Research Framework and Initial Study of Browser Security for the Visually Impaired,” at the USENIX Security Symposium.
The research explores how the visually impaired experience browser security warnings, establishes best practices in conducting this kind of research and makes suggestions on how to improve online safety for this population.
USENIX Security is one of the top venues for computer security research in the world.
Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering Professor Taufik presented a tech talk on power electronics in power systems to engineers at San Diego Gas & Electric on Aug. 24. He discussed harmonics and their increasing presence in electrical power grids due to the growing use of power-based electrical equipment, including renewable energy sources, energy storage and EV chargers.
Taufik also emphasized the importance of understanding the impacts of harmonics, which could potentially and seriously degrade the operating conditions and performance of power grids.
Taufik is scheduled to present a follow-up discussion covering the different types of harmonic mitigation techniques.
