Biomedical Engineering
Professor Dev Misra chairs our biomedical engineering department which is committed to improving quality of life for all through outstanding education, distinguished research, and community involvement built upon the application of science and engineering principles to health.
Because biomedical engineering involves intersectionality between biological sciences, engineering and computer sciences, our faculty and their research span a wide variety of disciplines.
Current focus areas include:
- Biomechanics
- Biorobotics
- Bone Healing
- Intelligent Assistive Devices
- Medical Imaging
- Medical Instrumentation
- Rehabilitation Engineering
Department Programs
