Fluid Dynamics & Biomechanics: Observing Zooplankton Behavior in the Presence of Micro Oil Droplets
Aquatic Food Web - fresh and marine water are the biota of micro-zooplankton feeding on algae and other suspended particles. Zooplankton, such as copepods and daphnia, act in turn as food sources...   Details

Fluidic Dynamics and Biomechanics: Observing Zooplankton Behavior in the Presence of Micro-bubbles
Micro-bubbles are known to be generated in aquatic environments by a variety of processes including: water turbulence, temperature and pressure changes, and chemical dispersion. Their presence has...   Details

Foreign direct investment and publicly available information: calculating a country information index
To develop an information index for a specific set of countries using publicly available information in news reports. This index will then be used to empirically assess the role of public...   Details

Gene trapping as a means to create stable transgenic zebrafish lines
The objective of this project is to generate and charcterize lines of transgenic zebrafish expressing fluorescent proteins in different cell types. Single cell zebrafish embryos are injected with...   Details

Genetic Identification of Genes Essential for Plant Development
Objective: Our research focuses on elucidating signal transduction pathways that are required for plant growth and development by employing a combination of molecular genetic and cell biological...   Details

Genetic Studies to Understand How Bacteria Move over Surfaces
Bacterial mutants with defects in ability to crawl over surfaces will be analyzed using genetic, molecular biological, and microscopic techniques in order to understand the mechanism of cell movement...   Details

German Breweries of Milwaukee
Last year UWM undergraduates explored the German roots of Milwaukee and published the book, German Milwaukee, with Arcadia Publishers. This year I am looking for undergraduates who are interested in...   Details

Hand grip rehabilitation for people with disability
The goal of our research is 1) to develop interventions to improve hand function for people with disability; and 2) to understand neurologic and biomechanical mechanisms underlying their difficulties...   Details

Harvesting Wave Energy From Lake Michigan
