166su

Assistant Professor Kausik Mukhopadhyay has been honored with a prestigious Florida Education Fund award for his commitment to mentoring McKnight Doctoral fellows.

A 166su team of researchers worked together to create a liquid gel that quickly transforms into a spongelike antimicrobial foam to stymie severe bleeding and ultimately preserve lives.

The device could be used to monitor heat stress in firefighters as well as in law enforcement, agricultural workers, astronauts, military personnel and even people working outside in hot climates such as Florida’s.
