Elizabeth Wait, a senior at UCF studying biotechnology, recently published her fifth academic paper and made the cover of International Journal of Chemical Kinetics for her study on how adding carbon dioxide to the combustion process could affect the rates of reaction. The study, funded by the Department of Energy, was aimed at investigating if carbon dioxide affects […]

Amputees who use powered prosthetic ankles may be able to avoid the energetic costs typically associated with prosthetics by cranking up the power provided by their devices. A UCF engineering professor recently published a study in Scientific Reports that shows that people with transtibial amputations—the loss of a limb below the knee—may improve their walking ability if […]

With two young kids to take care of and a husband 9,500 miles away in Singapore, graduate school was nothing less than chaotic for Seetha Raghavan.
