Grace Adams joins VINSE Superuser program
VINSE is excited to welcome Grace Adams to the VINSE Superuser program. Grace is a second year graduate student in the biomedical engineering program and does research in the Gonzales lab. Her research focuses on fabricating and implementing neural probes compatible with two-photon imaging to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying brain-machine interface control. As a VINSE superuser, Grace will provide training on the AJA sputter deposition system and photolithography methods including spin coating and the Karl Suss MA6 mask aligner. Superusers are students who have been identified as the most expert users of our core set of tools. Under VINSE’s tool training program, these superusers have been volunteering their time to assist in training of new users on our most heavily used tools. These students highlight the fact that VINSE isn’t just a facility, but a collaborative community that is enabled by our fantastic students. “I’m very excited to be more involved in the VINSE community and to welcome new users with the same kindness and generosity I’ve been shown since starting at VINSE.”
