Department of Biomedical Engineering

Faculty & Staff

The biomedical engineering faculty group consists of a total of nine faculty members from the College of Engineering and the College of Arts & Sciences. While a general interest in the successful implementation of a biomedical engineering department is common among these faculty members, the diversity and variety of their respective areas of interest acts as the cornerstone to the program.
