Pioneering robotic-surgery system

Mohammad Abedin-Nasab is developing the first robotic-surgery system designed to align fractured long bones, such as the thigh bone (femur). These bones often don’t heal properly due to misalignment—causing pain, difficulty walking, and other long-term problems.

At the forefront of climate research

Andra Garner, Ph.D., is a climate scientist and assistant professor in Rowan University's School of Earth & Environment. Using computer simulations, Garner projects how climate change impacts trends in natural hazards, including evolving hurricane intensity and flooding related to storm surge and rising sea levels. Equipped with more information, vulnerable communities can proactively plan for increasing hazards.
