Before his Marine reserve unit was called, Kuniholm had been working on a biomedical engineering Ph.D. at Duke University, in Durham, N.C. After the loss of his arm, Kuniholm changed his academic focus to prosthetics and joined the Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 project. Here he wears an early prototype arm created by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., the organization that leads the DARPA effort.
