Designing a Reinforcement Learning Controller for Insulin Delivery in an Artificial Pancreas
獲獎作品摘要
With current devices suffering from antiquated PID algorithms, the engineering goal focused on using reinforcement learning (RL), a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), to effectively administer a continuous and responsive dosage of insulin to patients that can be adapted across a varied population.
Refining a Novel Device to Decrease the Risk of Vesicovaginal and Rectovaginal Fistulae during Labor
獲獎作品摘要
From the use of an improved precise, self-built CAD and FEA? model of female pelvic anatomy from anonymized CT scan data and both a mechanical simulation and computational fluid dynamics simulation program, different designs and design materials were tested, yielding a final device design.
The Ebola Epidemic in West Africa: Developing a Transmission Model to Compare the Effectiveness of Interventions
獲獎作品摘要
Purpose: a) Design and implement a gravity spatial model for the ongoing epidemic of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in West Africa; and b) use this model, to evaluate the relative effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing local or long-range transmission, such as quarantine, lock-downs, and border closure.
