Alisha Geldert, University of Virginia, Class of 2015Major: Biomedical engineeringProject: Develop an adaptive model to predict temperature elevation of brain tissue based on skull parameters  “As I began learning about focused ultrasound and its uses, I became fascinated by its potential to change the nature of surgery and other healthcare procedures.  I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the technology and contribute to its development, as well as help the Foundation in its mission to promote and accelerate the adoption of focused ultrasound.  I found that this internship would give me a good taste of both engineering and medical research.”
