Chi Hwan Lee is the Leslie A. Geddes Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and an associate professor of mechanical engineering in Purdue University’s College of Engineering. Lee’s research into sensors and monitors have led to multiple innovations including a biosensor that can be printed in 3D using an automated printing system. Recently, Lee’s research about placing sensors onto off-the-shelf horse slickers was published in the journal Advanced Materials. The sensors can continuously mentor equine cardiac, respiratory and muscular systems for hours under ambulatory conditions.

Professor Torbert Rocheford in the Department of Agronomy received $50,000 for his work on improving the nutritional value of corn by increasing carotenoid levels. IIB has previously reported on Professor Torbert’s Orange corn, the brand name of his grain sold by NutraMaize. Rocheford says the additional carotenoids can help protect eyes from macular degeneration.
