Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:20:00 EDT Ehsan Salamati, an M.E.Sc. student working under Dr. Hanif Ladak, Dr. Abbas Samani, and Dr. Sumit Agrawal (Otolaryngology) won 1st Prize in the Student Paper Competition at the 34th annual Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Conference. This is Canada's premiere biomedical engineering conference. Ehsan is developing, validating and applying methods to estimate the mechanical properties of the eardrum. This is important for our work on designing virtual environments for training ear surgeons, for developing computer models for surgical outcome prediction and in designing grafts to repair holes in the eardrum. His winning paper is titled "Estimation of the orthortropic elastic properties of the rat eardrum".
