Clemson University professors Richard Figliola and Ethan Kung work on new engineering technologies to perform “virtual vascular surgeries” on patients to help predict surgical outcomes and make surgical decisions before a patient actually goes under the knife. Work they are conducting can mimic a patient’s anatomical geometries as well as overall physiology in order to […]

Congratulations to Dr. Yue Wang! She has won the prestigious NSF CAREER Award this year, for her project “Cooperative Control and Decision-Making for Human-Agent Collaborative Teams” This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program grant addresses control and decision-making for human-robot collaborative teams. The project has two main research thrusts. The first thrust examines a team […]
