Blind Student Creates Adaptive Learning Tools for Visually Impaired

The State Press | Sept 10, 2012

Molecular biosciences and biotechnology senior [and Space Grant Intern] Ashleigh Gonzales lost her eyesight as a 13-year-old. A lack of tools for visually impaired science students threw up obstacles in her academic life. Gonzales inspired the creation of 3-D tactile boards in a program called 3-D IMAGINE, which is used to help visually impaired students learn material without the help of a lab aide.

Undergraduate Researcher's Work Destined for the Deep

ASU News | Apr 26, 2011

Undergraduate researcher Colin Ho is helping to design a miniature submarine that will be used to explore sub-glacial lakes in Antarctica. Ho is pursing dual degrees in mechanical engineering and in earth and space exploration. In summer 2010, Ho interned at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he worked with Arizona State University associate professor Albert Behar and other students to develop the initial design for the submarine. Ho now works in Behar's lab at ASU where he continues to work on the submarine.
