    Mary Foltz<\/strong> My research focuses on (1) understanding the movement of percutaneous pins that temporarily hold fractured bones together (in the humorous, hand, and feet) and (2) developing an AI\/ML algorithm to recommend spinal stenosis surgery based on clinical MRI scans. My hometown is in the Shenandoah Valley (Winchester, VA). I enjoy traveling, reading, gaming with friends, and hanging out with my family in my free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Kangxin Wang<\/strong> I am interested in understanding the mechanics of cartilage under repetitive compression and shear on a micro-scale.  My hometown is Beijing, China. In my free time, I enjoy music, reading, playing video games and practicing Kendo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Craig Almeida<\/strong> I am working in the interdisciplinary field of biomechanics. My current work includes evaluating lumbar decompression surgeries using finite element analysis. I enjoy applying mechanical engineering principles to medicine and biology. I was born and raised in Mumbai. I spend my free time cooking and baking new recipes, doing outdoorsy stuff, stargazing, and following up on the latest cars, science, and tech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Emma Stevens<\/strong> I am interested in orthopedic soft tissues, particularly in studying the mechanics of degenerative disc diseases. I apply mechanical engineering techniques to understand mechanisms behind musculoskeletal pain and drive solutions to improve the standard of care. I was born and raised in New Jersey, but am coming to Hopkins from Boston. Outside of the\u00a0lab, I like spending all the time I can outdoors- running, hiking, paddling, or just reading by the water- or cooking for friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
