I had my interview with Professor Dougherty on Friday, February 20. We discussed several possible paths that I could take over the course of the minor. Given my interest in the biomedical field Professor Dougherty suggested working on a project to develop mobile medical units that can be used for military purposes or perhaps in the future civilian and commercial uses. One possible component of this project would include smart shelves that would sense when and what item was removed and replaced from the shelf. He also suggested a project that involved making portabl suction devices for cleaning wounds in surgery. It did not take long for me to decide that I was more interested in the former.
After returning to my room that day, I found another e-mail from Professor Dougherty suggesting another possible project involving rescue robots which also sounds extrememly interesting. We have plans to discuss this path when next we meet.
