Jai Raccioppi, a senior in 果冻传媒直播\u2019s Biomedical Engineering program<\/a>, was recently accepted to the Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. program at the University of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJai is a great example of what we expect from all of the students in Stevenson\u2019s Biomedical Engineering program,\u201d said Neil Rothman, Biomedical Engineering Professor and Program Coordinator. \u201cHe excels academically, is a curious researcher, and is motivated to pursue experiences that enhance his education and prepare him for a successful career. It has been a pleasure having him in our program and we expect great things from him as he pursues his Ph.D.and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the University of Florida, Jai will be conducting research in the Tissue Mechanics, Microstructure, and Modeling Laboratory (TM3<\/sup>) under Dr. Lakiesha Williams, as well as working in collaboration with the neurosurgeons at Shands Hospital for pre-clinical studies. His first topic of research will examine how neurofibrillary tangles spread throughout the brain, and the effects of traumatic brain injury on this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBefore my grandfather passed away, he received treatment and imaging for potential neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer\u2019s at Shands Hospital,\u201d Jai said. \u201cIn that same building, I hope to advance the knowledge on how these neurodegenerative disorders develop and discover a new measure to prevent them. I have spent all four years as a Stevenson student athlete heavily involved with many extra curriculars to perfect my time management skill. Stevenson has prepared me perfectly for this next step.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more news about Stevenson\u2019s Biomedical Engineering program, follow the School of the Sciences on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.
