Usherwood has also contributed to a Dartmouth College project developing new ways to measure bone and soft tissue viability. For doctors, having access to this information will be helpful when detecting and treating bone and soft tissue damage in patients.

Having these varied research opportunities has been essential to shaping Usherwoods path, he said.

These experiences have given me a diversity of skills in lots of different subjects, he said. Ive been able to think about what aspects of each type of engineering project I prefer, and that has guided me as Ive developed a sense of what type of engineering projects I most enjoy.

In Spring 2021, Usherwood was awarded a Goldwater Scholarship, a nationally recognized award that supports sophomores and juniors who plan to pursue research careers in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering. Usherwood said that his scholarship will enable him to pursue undergraduate research projects that will bolster his candidacy for Ph.D. programs next year and that, in the meantime, are also a lot of fun.

Its great to be able to continue working on these projects that Im really enjoying, he said.
