Bioengineering Ph.D. student Holly Berns won a grant from the Brain Aneurysm Foundation to study how AI and other new technologies can change how aneurysms are discovered and treated. Her project will use AI and machine learning to examine how arteries leading to the brain are tilted and whether that tilt contributes to the formation and rupture of brain aneurysms.
