Education

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.

Bio-inspired robotics has motivated the development of technology from artificial muscles and medical devices to gecko-inspired adhesives and robots that run, fly and swim. MCEN 4228/5228: Bio-inspired Robotics introduces engineers to this area of study.

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.

The search is for tenure-track faculty positions rostered among any of the six departments in the College of Engineering and Applied Science.

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.

Jessica Fitzgerald received her PhD in Bioengineering from Northeastern University in Boston with a research focus in optical sensors and disease detection.
