⭐ TEAM SPOTLIGHT ⭐ Arianna Ortega Sanabria is a dedicated Doctoral Fellow at I³R who’s researching intrafascicular selectivity for nerve stimulation. Arianna describes this by using a house as a metaphor. "Each part of the house has different functions, like lights and outlets. You can turn on a light in one room without affecting the other rooms. Nerve selectivity is the same concept," she explains. Originally from Venezuela, she is inspired by her father, who was impacted by a spinal cord injury. Her work could contribute to life-changing therapies that could improve outcomes for people with similar conditions. Outside the lab, Arianna channels her creativity into a podcast she co-hosts with her cousins called Abro Debate, where they discuss a variety of topics from popular culture to social issues. She also enjoys the podcast host by a Venezuelan comedian Joanna Hausmann "Hyphenated." Arianna's passion for research, family, and culture fuels her drive to make a meaningful impact. We're proud to have her on the team! #SolvingWickedProblems #UArk #NWA #BiomedicalEngineering #TeamSpotlight

Take a look at the post below to learn more about the conversation between Dr. Meredith Adkins and the Arkansas Academy of Computing (AAoC), which resulted in an engaging visual depiction. #SolvingWickedProblems
Assistant Research Professor, Institute for Integrative and Innovative Research at the University of Arkansas
On October 12 I was invited to speak at the Arkansas Academy of Computing (AAoC) business meeting about my research on food systems with Institute for Integrative and Innovative Research (I³R) at the University of Arkansas It was a great honor to present to such an esteemed group of colleagues, including new inductees to the Academy that I've known for many years such as Dr. Karl Schubert and Dr. Rajiv Sabherwal, as well as many new faces with incredible career accomplishments in computing. My presentation was: "Convergence Research for Societal Impact: Deploying Tech Innovations that Scale." I spoke about the mission and methods of the Institute, highlighting the innovation processes, such as human centered design, that I have incorporated into my National Science Foundation (NSF) Convergence Accelerator funded project: Cultivate IQ - Empowering Regional Food Systems. Special thanks for the invitation to current president and professor emeritus, Dr. David Douglas. It was wonderful to learn about the great work that AAoC is doing, and to meet talented and impressive scholarship recipients such as Taisei Hanyu! Ken Hubbell surprised me with an absolutely incredible visual representation of the talk, which so delightfully and accurately represents the messages I conveyed! Also, thank you to Marla Johnson for the photos!

Happy #UArk Homecoming from I³R with a little innovative spin on the festivities! Today we're celebrating UA alumni at the Institute: (Meredith Adkins, Peg Hart MBA, CRA, Kristen Warwick, MBA, Tommaso Benigni, Hailey Dirrigl, M. Eng. , Gayla Hinton, Elizabeth Muscari)! 🐗 Here's what they had to say about their favorite memories as students on The Hill: "My favorite memory was my dissertation defense. It was so neat to be called “Dr. Adkins” for the first time by all of my committee members (Margaret Reid, Bill Schreckhise, and Rogelio Garcia Contreras), and my husband and daughter surprised me at the end by showing up with flowers. It was a wonderful way to cap off my doctoral degree program, which took many years to complete as I worked full-time and had a baby during those many years!" -Meredith Adkins, Ph.D., I³R assistant research professor "My favorite memories are of fall in the Ozarks. The beautiful foliage, especially the red leaves of the maples, is something that I always enjoy." -Peg Hart, I³R project specialist "When our volleyball team beat Washington, who was ranked #8 in the country at the time, is my favorite. This was the opening match of my final season as a student athlete, and Barnhill was electric. It was one of the best atmospheres I've ever played in." -Hailey Dirrigl, I³R clinical trial support engineer "Mine would probably be walking around campus and seeing the different seasons." -Tommaso Benigni, Ph.D., I³R post-doctoral fellow "My favorite memory is being part of the 2019 Homecoming Court. I met so many remarkable student leaders that I have kept in touch with to this day. It was a privilege to represent the University of Arkansas in this tradition!" -Elizabeth Muscari, I³R communications manager We're proud to have many University of Arkansas alumni part of the Institute, helping drive innovation forward across the state. #SolvingWickedProblems #UArkHomecoming
