Biomedical engineering student Nancy Caldwell (right) came to U-M two years ago with two friends and classmates from the University of Iowa, Trina Buhr (left) and Stephanie Caswell.
The trio graduated with 4.0 GPAs and are among 30 outstanding students selected nationwide each year to receive three-year doctoral Biomedical Engineering Research Grants from the Whitaker Foundation of Washington, DC.
Buhr is a biomedical engineering student working with a team that is developing a portable chair that can collect fitness data from the elderly.
Caswell, an electrical engineering student, is part of a team seeking to improve implantable defebrillators that regulate the heartbeats of persons susceptible to potentially fatal irregularities in the electrical signaling that regulates the beats.
