Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical research within the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has flourished due to the close interactions with faculty from the School of Medicine and Dentistry located only a short five-minute walk from the engineering buildings.
Faculty members involved in biomedical engineering research also have appointments in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Research includes, not only biomechanics, but also areas such as biomedical ultrasound, cardiac development, and oxygen transport.
General research topics for faculty members working in biomedical engineering are listed below. Click on a faculty name for a link to their web page with more detail about their research.
