For their research in cardiac regeneration therapy and wireless technology, Jack Goss, Lucas Serven, and Eugene Song are the recipients of this year’s Cooper Fellowship!
The Fellowship supports graduate students in UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering, with a preference on those doing research in energy efficient electrical and power hardware or software solutions, wireless communications and sensing devices, or specialty materials. The fellowship was created by the Cooper Industries Foundation and its former Chairman, President, and CEO, Kirk Hachigian, ’82.
We spoke to Jack Goss (Cardiac Regeneration capstone team), who as an undergrad worked with hydrogels to clean up oil spills. Today, he’s working on reducing the risk of heart failure by implementing the hydrogel to support a heart’s mechanical functions, stating that “with this project, we hope to revolutionize heart failure treatment and prevention.” Jack would like to thank Cooper industries, the M. Eng. faculty and advisers, and especially the Fung family.
