Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
Advancing Research and Innovation for Aging and Disability (ARIAD)
A CU Denver Research and Creative Work Grand Challenge
The Goal
The ARIAD team aims to cultivate a powerful collaborative network of academic experts, community stakeholders, and local, national, and international industry advisors and partners to address the grand challenge of aging and aging into disability facing our world today. Funding and research support is provided by CU Denver in order to
lay the foundation for building CU Denver’s reputation as a leader in research and creative work.
The Challenge
One Billion
People live with disabilities worldwide.
Society is Aging
By 2030, one out of every five Americans will be at or above retirement age
Demand Fuels Innovation
One in two older adults will experience disability as they age.
Dr. Hunter is an Associate Professor in Bioengineering at CU Denver – Anschutz. Trained as a mechanical engineer (fluid and solid computational mechanics, vibration, and acoustics), he now works in bioengineering. Since obtaining his PhD, he has worked in industry on the simulation and analysis of ship shock, measured and modeled the structural properties of the human pulmonary and systemic vasculatures, obtained detailed mechanics descriptions of the cardiac system from processing of echocardiographic and magnetic resonance images, and many more. These projects utilized his skills in engineering mechanics, computer programing, data management, and advanced statistics including unsupervised machine learning techniques. More recently, he is involved in an imaging guidance augmented reality (AR) project with the DoD as lead developer and a second AR team project supported by the Coleman Institute. For the ARIAD project, he will apply his skills in all noted technology subject areas but especially with social assistive robotics and translational science.
