Walk This Way: Inno/Vention winner Tan Minh Vo helps people do just that with her invention,

VibroWalk. This insert estimates spatial orientation of the feet with a sensor-feedback system and

allows rehabilitation patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy or injuries to walk and drive

with stability. Since winning, she has continued to improve lives, helping to deliver over 120 free

surgical procedures for locals in Vietnam as a part of Resurge International.

NYU-POLY GRADUATE SCHOOL: FACULTY

George Vradis, head of mechanical engineering, discusses concentration options with Pablo J. Nagy Basente, a graduate student.

Jin Kim Montclare (top), professor and director of the NYU-Poly ProteinEngineering and Molecular Design Lab, mentors graduates as they genetically engineer protein polymers to change the face of healthcare. Elza Erkip (bottom), an IEEE fellow and associate professor, works closelywith NYU-Poly students in cooperative communications to make cell phones more effective. Maurizio Porfiri, one of Popular Science’s “Brilliant 10” and a frequent feature in science media, enlists student help to continue improving robotic fish that will herd others out of danger.

Richard Gross, professor of Chemical and Biological Science, is changing everything by turning yeast into bio-based plastics, which can then in turn be used as fuel, eventually replacing petroleum. Katherine Isbister, research director of the new CITE Game Innovation Lab and a Humboldt Research Fellow, decodes social gaming with student researchers. Masoud Ghandehari’s life work is sustainable construction and investi-gating different ways to recycle, repurpose, redesign and monitor concrete to make it eco-friendly.

Creating the Code: Already the holder of two patents in China, Xiaoxiang (Sean) Xu is working with

Professor Jonathan Chao of the Electrical Engineering department to create a fully implantable

device that will treat a type of epilepsy resistant to drugs and unsuitable for surgery. Their device

will recognize abnormal patterns in the brain and, by recording electrical discharge of neurons,

prevent seizure generation at its origin.
