Graduate Students
- Corrin is the recepient of the Investing in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Engineering (IÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥E) Graduate Fellowship. Corrin, tell us about your research. What is it that you study? Currently, I work in Dr. Maureen Lynch’s mechanobiology laboratory, researching breast cancer
- Chad Healy is a PhD student researching how the brain controls movement in Professor Alaa Ahmed’s lab. He returned to finish his PhD in 2021 after taking a break from his studies to complete an internship with SpaceX.
- Eight graduate students are graduating from the Biomedical Engineering Program this spring. Two have earned their doctoral degrees and six have earned master's degrees.
- First-year PhD students Juliet Heye and Payton Martinez were awarded the five-year fellowship, which recognizes outstanding graduate students from across the country in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
- The collaborative work could boost health and drug advancements by giving researchers a better understanding of primary and secondary radiation forces in multiphase colloidal systems – such as emulsions, foams, membranes and gels.
- The new alumni are already starting their careers to help improve the world of healthcare – from designing diagnostic equipment to developing technology for disease treatment.
- Sarah Lipp, a graduate student in the NIH-supported tissue engineering lab of Professor Sarah Calve, creates image showing the interface of skin and muscle during mammalian development.
- Biomedical Engineering Professor Corey Neu and Benjamin Seelbinder's (PhDMech’19) work, now published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, looks at how cells adapt to their environment and how a mechanical environment influences a cell. Their research has the potential to tackle major health obstacles.
- John Myers (MBioEngr’21) was the first student to graduate from the Biomedical Engineering Program with a thesis-based master’s degree. Now, he has a more competitive edge as he plans his future education and career.
