Ishpreet Singh \u201921 has learned a lot from the engineering and business professionals he meets through the Clark Scholars<\/a> leadership development and networking programs, as well as from Introduction to Business, a required course for Clark Scholars. However, it\u2019s working with students at Baltimore\u2019s Barclay Elementary\/Middle School that he\u2019s found most inspirational. With sponsorship from Lockheed Martin, WSE\u2019s Clark Scholars plan an annual STEM Expo at Barclay<\/a>. \u201cAs engineers, [we can] share what we love, and the kids can see what possibilities are out there to explore,\u201d says Singh.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2016, the Clark Scholars program was endowed with a gift<\/a> from the A. James and Alice B. Clark Foundation. It focuses on engineering, business, and service, with the goal of attracting\u00a0 the nation\u2019s most talented engineering students to Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve asked Alexa anything, thank the Frederick Jelinek Memorial Summer Workshop<\/a>. Amazon Echo speakers are built using Kaldi technology, a speech recognition toolkit created at the workshop.<\/p>\n

For workshop co-creator Sanjeev Khudanpur<\/a>, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, creating public domain research that leads to products like Google Translate is fulfilling\u2014but so is the workshop\u2019s collaborative community. \u201cWe solve research problems by finding the best people and putting them in a room to see what they can do,\u201d he says. Select Whiting School students participate and network with Johns Hopkins alumni employed by workshop sponsors, who, in turn, offer internships, hire graduates, and donate to Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n

Ciaran Harman<\/a>, the Russell Croft Faculty Scholar and assistant professor of environmental health and engineering<\/a>, studies the environmental challenges of too much, too dirty, and too little water. He is investigating how water flows<\/a> through the subsurface, where it\u2019s stored, and how quickly it\u2019s released and replaced.<\/p>\n

Harman\u2019s findings already have informed the Chesapeake Bay Program\u2019s watershed model; after discovering the bowl-shaped structure of fracturing and weathering in underground rock, he\u2019s now focused on what water in those \u201cbowls\u201d means for today\u2019s streams and headwaters. \u201cWater entering streams can be decades old, a time when, perhaps, we were making different decisions about fertilizers,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe Croft Faculty Scholar award gives me breathing room to work in new directions and develop a new understanding of how a landscape’s hydrology might have co-evolved with other ecological, geomorphic, and geochemical processes operating concurrently over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a big year for Alexandra Loucks\u2019 affairs of the heart. The biomedical engineering<\/a> graduate student (PhD \u201920) got married, received her third David C. Gakenheimer Fellowship, and refocused her research to discover why certain patients are at higher risk of arrhythmia.<\/p>\n

The Gakenheimer Fellowship, which supports graduate students who are developing and advancing diagnostic methods and treatments for heart rhythm disorders, has enabled Loucks to build upon her research each year. \u201cWe know that certain cell components change, but we don’t know why those small changes lead to arrhythmia,\u201d she says of her simulations to uncover those mechanisms. \u201cOnce we know which of those changes cause it, we can propose therapeutic targets to hopefully decrease the risk of sudden cardiac death,\u201d explains Loucks, who after graduating plans to work as a software engineer for a tech or financial company.<\/p>\n

John C. Malone professorships<\/a> attract and recognize faculty members who are making advances at the intersection of engineering and health care.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilya Shpitser<\/a>, the John C. Malone Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, loves solving data puzzles, particularly those that answer global health care questions. To improve patient care and minimize adverse post-surgical outcomes, he and his team are studying Johns Hopkins Hospital patients who go in for routine cardiac surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cCardiac care is complicated, and to study the issue, we use complicated data,\u201d says Shpitser, an expert in using observational data for causal inference. He mines data from claims, anesthesiology, pharmacy, surgical, and medical sources\u2014data that are rarely comprehensive and often have missing elements\u2014with the goals of making a patient\u2019s pathway from pre-surgery to discharge safer and reducing the need for readmission. \u201cIt\u2019s gratifying work and not just fancy math,\u201d says Shpitser. \u201cWe\u2019re directly doing something to help people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2,000-square-foot center, which was was made possible through the Hopkins Fund, is nestled within the larger FastForward U<\/a> hub for entrepreneurial startups in Baltimore, is located in Remington, the neighborhood just south of the Homewood campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Makerspace is a stepping stone for entrepreneurship. Students can make prototypes and brainstorm with FastForward U tenants to take their ideas to market,\u201d says Rich Middlestadt, Whiting School manufacturing manager. \u201cStudents are sharing knowledge and experiences with each other, which has a huge impact on the new ideas and inventions they have when they look toward entrepreneurship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships spur interdisciplinary leaders to bridge intellectual communities and solve critical challenges.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Paul Ferraro<\/a>\u2019s work, which aims to design better policies for protecting the environment and improving human welfare<\/a>, knows few disciplinary boundaries. The time to act on his research, though, is increasingly finite.<\/p>\n

Recently, the Maryland Department of the Environment requested Ferraro\u2019s assistance to improve compliance for the state\u2019s lead poisoning prevention program. One catch: They needed help immediately. With the financial resources of the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorship<\/a> in Business and Engineering, Ferraro could oblige. \u201cWithout these funds, I would have spent a year or so trying to find grant money,\u201d says Ferraro, who has a joint appointment in the Whiting School and Carey Business School<\/a>, and co-directs the Center for Behavioral and Experimental Agri-Environmental Research<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s a small window to change policies, and the funds give me the necessary bandwidth to act quickly. The Bloomberg name also resonates across fields, signaling that I\u2019m a credible source of information, evidence, and advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

A gift from Neil ’83 and Sherry Cohen seeds promising research at the earliest stages of translation.<\/p>\n

Head and neck surgeons can experience hand tremors from manipulating long surgical instruments, and inserting and removing tools repeatedly during surgery can also cause safety challenges. To address this, Russell H. Taylor<\/a> \u201970, the John C. Malone Professor of Computer Science, and his team developed the Galen surgical robot, made possible by support from the Cohen Translational Engineering Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The novel, tremor-free surgical robot (based on one developed by PhD student Kevin Olds) is surgeon-guided and \u201cworks like power steering in car,\u201d says Taylor. Both surgeon and robot hold the instrument, but the robot holds it steady, enhancing safety. \u201cThe Cohen Fund provided critical seed money for the preclinical stage to advance the project,\u201d Taylor explains. His team is working with Galen Robotics on the clinical version and to create future evolutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
