Heart of the matter: Oliver part of team devising new way to detect heart disease
PhD student Maggie Oliver is part of a team working on a novel way to detect heart disease. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., many times claiming its victims without warning. Maggie Oliver, a PhD student in mechanical engineering, hopes to help to change that. She’s working with Noah Manring, Dean of the College of Engineering and Ketcham Professor, and Dr. Senthil Kumar from University of Missouri Hospital on research that would make it easier to uncover signs of cardiovascular problems. For Oliver, the work is personal. “My grandma actually died of a…

Mizzou Engineering team devises novel way to non-invasively monitor heart problems
In the future, people with heart problems may be able to monitor their condition from home, ensuring they are taking the appropriate type and amount of medicine. That’s because a Mizzou Engineering research team has devised a way to non-invasively assess whether a person’s heart is in balance with the circulatory system. The work earned PhD student Mohamed Zaid the first-place award in the engineering and technology category at MU’s 38th annual Research and Creative Activities Forum held earlier this month. In addition to a monetary prize, the competition gives graduate students the opportunity to share their work…
