Another four years have gone by, and the Summer Olympics are back to recognize the world’s best athletes while simultaneously wreaking havoc on its host city’s infrastructure. Since most of us probably can’t afford a trip to Croissant City to watch the games in person, we decided to bring the Olympics here! This year, we will have the IMG Spring Olympics, a fun-filled afternoon for IMG members to unwind and engage in some friendly competition. The event will be held on Friday, 4/26 @ 3:30 pm at the SW Rec Softball Fields.

Come join us for a fun afternoon of food and games to wrap up the semester and get yourself in the holiday spirit!

Dr. Fan’s group will have an open house this Friday 10/18 (tomorrow) at 11:00 AM in the Microfluidics lab (Benton 237E). For those who have join IMG recently, the open house is an invitation to everyone in IMG to learn about the research, the projects, and the equipment of an IMG group. Some demos will be set up in the lab, and we will be showing some of our projects:
 

- Pablo, Minh-Chau & Zac: Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs): explanation on how to run a device for CTCs capture, and visualization of the cells under the microscope.

Dr. Arnold’s group will have an open house on Friday 11/16 at 1:00 PM in the Magnetics lab (Larsen 126). The open house is an invitation to everyone in IMG to learn about the research, the projects, and the equipments of an IMG group. Some demos will be set up in the magnetic lab, and students will discuss about their projects.

• Nicolas Garraud: Electrodynamic wireless power transfer (EWPT).
• Keisha Castillo-Torres: Bio-applications of the rotational dynamics setup and magnetic microdiscs.
• Connor Smith: Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) general overview and demo.
• Yuzheng Wang: Characterization of electro-permanent magnet (EPM) samples using the VSM.
• Jacob Ewing: Screen-printed magnetic films for MEMS.

Come learn about the exciting research done by Dr. Yoon's group! The students and research topics are below.
