Wendy Reffeor, PhD, Interim Associate Dean of the Padnos College of Engineering, Grand Valley State University first performed research on the human hand for her doctoral dissertation entitled, "A Three-Dimensional Dynamic Analysis of the Human Hand for Predicting Tendon, Ligament and Nerve Irritation in the Carpal Tunnel During Typing." Since then, her focus has been primarily on project-based, undergraduate engineering education although her passion for human hand research has continued through both undergraduate and graduate student projects. Her primary research fields include project-based undergraduate education and engineering mechanics/biomechanics.
