The Myers Lab loved having SURE Fellow, Jayla McCoy in the lab this summer! Jayla is a Mechanical Engineering student with a minor in computer science at the University of Kentucky. Her research project, titled “Using Computational Mechanics to Improve Preterm Birth Risk Assessment”, used a variety of computational tools to improve our inverse finite element analysis workflow on FEBio 4.0. Jayla also examined the impact of precompression & viscoelasticity on simulation results. We enjoyed having Jayla in the lab and can’t wait to see what she does next!
