Projects

Senior Design Project

August 2010 to April 2011

Members:Christopher Wenzel, Michael Piontek, Seitu Joseph, James Boone, Phillip Oliver

Helped design a Patient Balancing System (PBS) for the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana to monitor status

of patient progress and recovery. The Patient Balancing System was designed to determine the patient's center

of balance. If the center of balance was off, the PBS alarmed, and overtime this would help the patient to find

their center of balance during physical therapy.

Drug Delivery Project

March 2011 to May 2011

Members:Christopher Wenzel

Designed a two-compartment absorption and elimination mathematical model for Prozac in the treatment for

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD). Absoption and elimination rates for Prozac were first researched, a

one-compartment model was made, and this was compared to the designed two-compartment mathematical

model.

Kidney Control Project for Quantitative Physiology

September 2010 to December 2010

Members:Christopher Wenzel, Michael Piontek, Muller Soliman, Philip Oliver, James Boone

The goal of this project was to artificially control and construct a MATLAB/Simulink model of the kidney.

Kidneys have very complex mechanisms and to simplify the system, our group focused on the hormone ADH

which controls absoption of water by the kidney. By only focusing on the hormone ADH, our group was able

to get a good Matlab/Simulink model at the end of the project.

1 person has recommended Christopher

"I highly recommend Christopher Wenzel for any position or endeavor that he may seek to pursue. I have

served as Chris’ manager in his capacity as a Research Assistant at Franciscan St. Francis Health over the

past summer. From serving as a Research Assistant, I have watched Chris develop into a confident and

capable leader. Chris is extremely responsible; not only was he accountable for 80 research trial essential

documents per Good Clinical Practice principles and institutional policies, but as a Research Assistant, he

also enhanced the new subject welcome bags to assist patients with any issues or questions they any have

while participating in a research trial. On days when I am not on site, Chris is the Research Assistant I know I

can rely on to make sure the day runs smoothly. He is a natural leader who can always be counted on. Chris is

an organized, intelligent, and capable young man who would be an excellent addition."
