How two skulls buried deep in a Herff lab could provide more timely care for stroke victims
While skeletons and mummies roam Memphis streets this Halloween, something far more unsettling lurks on the third floor of the Herff College of Engineering's Engineering Technology building. There, in Dr. Carl Herickhoff’s lab, two skulls split into halves sit locked away in a steel suitcase.
The importance of ignorance in engineering research
When Dr. Evan Main contacted Dr. Gary Bowlin, chair of the Herff College of Engineering’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, he didn’t know the first thing about engineering. With an undergraduate degree in physics, Main considered himself a long shot to be accepted into Bowlin’s graduate program.
Dr. Evan Main, a researcher at the University of Memphis' Herff College of Engineering, received the University of Memphis Retirees (UMAR) Dorothy Atra University-Wide Dissertation Award.
Growing up on an Arkansas cattle farm and playing high school football, Dr. Hayden Carlton became very familiar with heat. Now, at age 30, he teaches students in the Herff College of Engineering Department of Biomedical Engineering about heat transfer.
Students in the Herff College of Engineering’s Department of Biomedical Engineering now have more options to expand their careers through Herff’s Certificate in Regulatory Affairs for Medical Devices.
