Weldon School senior’s extended abstract wins national award
Giolando is working on the mathematical and computational modeling of a bioresorbable drug eluting implant. The model is designed in the Python programming language to solve a system of governing partial differential equations that model polymer degradation, and polymer and drug diffusion using numerical methods.
The senior is working in the laboratories of Luis Solorio and Tamara Kinzer-Ursem, both assistant professors in biomedical engineering. The BMES Undergraduate Student Design and Research Award comes with a certificate, a $400 award and a complimentary registration to attend the 2018 BMES Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Giolando will present his work at the meeting and be recognized at the plenary session on Friday, October 19.
