Abstract

Madison. His teaching specialty is on the topic of Biomedical Engineering Design and Bioinstrumentation and has taken initiative to develop hands-on blended learning based courses on the same topics. His research interest is on global health and engineering and currently working on projects in Honduras, Ethiopia, India and Vietnam. He has received the Recognition Award for Achievement in Global Engaged Scholarship in 2013 through the Wisconsin Without Borders at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Professor of the Year Award in 2012, through the Biomedical Engineering Society at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a number of teaching awards.

Design of Ergonomic Tools for Commercial Laboratory Technicians

“…Undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Department of Biomedical Engineering participate in a unique curriculum where they learn through their experiences doing real-world, team-based design projects for seven semesters (Nimunkar, Puccinelli, Bollom, & Tompkins, 2014; Tompkins, 2006; Tompkins et al, 2002; Wille, Hess, Levin, Nimunkar, & Puccinelli, 2017). Freshman-year students work in interdisciplinary teams to solve community-based design challenges.…”
