Dr. Xin (Jeffrey) Liu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at UTA and a researcher with the Institute for Predictive Performance Methodologies (IPPM) at UTARI, has been awarded a $750,000 NASA grant, dedicating to additively manufactured (AM) metamaterials that improve the safety of Advanced Air…
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is widely used as a non-invasive treatment to help preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). However, prolonged use of CPAP nasal prongs can place significant pressure on delicate nasal tissues. This can lead to injuries such as septal damage, necrosis of the columella, and…
