The BME team one-month update

The BME students have been working hard for a little more than one month now and are making good progress. Last week, they began testing various differential pressure sensors in simple systems like the one you see here.

They’ve started preparing for their upcoming mid-semester presentation on the project which will take place Friday afternoon. I hope to post some of the details of the presentation soon afterwards.

Testing differential pressure sensors

Early on I learned some interesting details about each of their backgrounds and interests and have been wanting to introduce them.

Jeremy G grew up in a little town north of Minocqua (the true Northwoods of Wisconsin) surrounded by trees and lakes and, in his words, “not much else.” He studied abroad in Ireland last semester and spends time here on outdoor activities, especially cross-country skiing in the winter.

Jeremy S is a junior from Waterford, WI, interested in bioinstrumentation and medical imaging, who also gets outdoors as he can to hunt and fish.

Andrew D is a junior BME major in the bioinstrumentation track, who’s made it his goal before graduation to finish a Mickey’s scrambler in one sitting.

Andrew Bremer is a junior studying BME at UW-Madison. Outside of school he is an officer in the UW chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society and also works as a campus tour guide. Born and raised in Madison, he is a true Madisonian – he enjoys Badger sporting events, Babcock ice cream, (the World’s Largest) Bratfest, cheese, Concerts on the Square, hanging out on the Memorial Union Terrace, and all other things that make Madison unique!

Thanks to each of them for their enthusiasm and hard work so far this semester.
