What’s The Secret To Success? Faculty Discuss
TCU Magazine online
2019-12-21
I don’t think I am any more “successful” than the next person, but I do realize that I am very blessed. The “secret” may be to recognize your blessings. God constantly blesses us with opportunities to serve each other and grow in the process. Sometimes these opportunities may not seem particularly attractive to us, but if we accept them and do our best, then we can’t go wrong!
TCU-HSC partnership leads to new bone-cutting machine
Star Telegram
2015-04-23
The project got off the ground after Roby and TCU electrical engineering professor Tristan Tayag joined forces.
Tayag said thousands of sets of bones lie on shelves waiting to be processed.
“The bottleneck is the cleaning and extracting of the bone sample,” Tayag said. “It is time-consuming because it is done manually.”...

Non-uniform projection angle processing in computed tomography
Interferometry XVI: ApplicationsSimo, Y., & Tayag, T. J.
2012
In this paper, we present a novel approach for the collection of computed tomography data. Non-uniform increments in projection angle may be used to reduce data acquisition time with minimal reduction in the accuracy of the reconstructed profile. The key is to exploit those projection angles which correspond to regions where the object contains few high spatial frequency components. This technique is applicable to optical phase computed tomography, as well as X-ray computed tomography. We present simulation results on intraocular lenses used in cataract surgery.
Primary tendon sheath enlargement and reconstruction in zone 2: an in vitro biomechanical study on tendon gliding resistance
The Journal of Hand SurgeryBunata, R. E., Kosmopoulos, V., Simmons, S., Tayag, T. J., Roso, M., & Carlson, H.

To investigate our hypothesis that primary pulley enlargement and repair using an extensor retinaculum graft will reduce tendon repair gliding resistance. The benefit of pulley enlargement has been tested in experimental animals, but its effect on gliding resistance in vitro using human fingers is not known.
