A team of four UTRGV mechanical engineering students have designed a prototype device that will help Parkinson’s disease victims right legibly again. The development of their Self-Stabilization Holder, a yearlong endeavor which became their senior design project, was overseen by Dr. Karen Lozano, professor of mechanical engineering (standing).

The students (left to right) are Carlos Hernandez, Misael Martinez, and Rodolfo Becerra. Team member Arnoldo Ventura, currently participating in an out-of-state internship, is not pictured.
