Researchers say pulse oximeters don’t accurately detect oxygen levels for people with darker skin. The search is on for better options.

Kevin Logiudice is a 2nd year PhD student in Dr. Srivastava’s lab. He graduated from the ScM program in 2021 and continued to do his PhD in the same lab where he conducts biomechanics research. Prior to joining Brown in 2019, he worked in the chemical engineering industry but decided to refocus his career towards the biomedical field.

Warmest welcome to our newest BME master’s and PhD students!

Three students defend their PhD thesis work in Biomedical Engineering this semester.

Yasmin Karasu Benyes was a 5th year Master’s student in Biomedical Engineering. She completed her Sc.B in Computer Engineering in 2021. She conducted research with Dr. Tripathi where she continued to pursue her interests in using machine learning to solve biomedical issues.

Brown Engineering Assistant Professor Daniel Harris was honored with the Excellence in Research Mentoring Award, given to recognize and reward Brown University faculty who have shown exceptional commitment in mentoring undergraduate researchers, as well as for their promotion, encouragement, and training of diverse students in undergraduate research.

Congratulations to Alicia Minor on being awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship.

Ge Zhu completed his Sc.M in Biomedical Engineering in May 2022. He also holds an MS in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology from Northeastern University. Ge participated in the Experiential Learning in Industry (ELI) course during his 3rd semester from June to December 2021. He worked at Pfizer in the Early Clinical Development - Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Team.

Brown University’s selection committee for its Postdoctoral Excellence Awards has announced School of Engineering postdoctoral research Arvin Soepriatna as one of two winners of the Research/Teaching award “for excellence in scholarship as researchers and/or teachers."

The lab of George Karniadakis, professor of applied mathematics and engineering, leads the charge of developing physics-informed neural networks to diagnose and predict the severity of arterial aneurysms.

For the second time in four months, engineers at Brown convene a group of scholars and experts to examine achievable home-based technologies for the next decade.

The new process, which is more effective and efficient than conventional methods, has the potential to significantly impact cancer diagnostics as well as other fields of research.

George Karniadakis, Charles Pitts Robinson and John Palmer Barstow Professor of Applied Mathematics and Engineering at Brown University, has been selected by the Department of Defense as one of nine distinguished faculty scientists and engineers for the 2022 Class of Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellows (VBFF).

The devices have been shown in research to produce inaccurate results in dark-skinned people, and Toussaint's lab is developing technology that would be more accurate, regardless of skin tone.

Ahmed Abdelfattah, Robert J. and Nancy D. Carney Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, has been named one of five 2022 Rita Allen Foundation Scholars.

A new study associated with the BrainGate consortium offered significant clues about how humans learn and form long-term memories; the findings could provide insights for developers of assistive tools for people with paralysis.

The Brown Corporation authorized a process to select an architect and launch a full programming phase for the building, a critical step in a long-held vision to create new laboratory space for cutting-edge life sciences research.

The prestigious award offers young scholars the opportunity to teach, study and pursue research internationally.

Gavin is a recent graduate of the Biomedical Engineering master’s program. Before joining Brown in 2020, he studied Biomedical Engineering at RPI where he worked in the Mills Lab - a mechanical engineering lab that studies cell mechanical response to the ECM.

A new material developed at Brown University can respond to the presence of bacterial enzymes by releasing a cargo of therapeutic nanoparticles, which could prove particularly helpful in wound dressings.

45 BME Degrees from the Class of 2020 were also celebrated in person!

On May 24, the Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBME) graduate community came together at the beautiful Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium in Bristol, RI to celebrate their shared scientific achievement. Put together by faculty, staff, and students, the event featured student presentations, keynote speakers, and awards among numerous other community building activities.

Brown students feature as recipients of the NIH Outstanding Scholars in Neuroscience Award.

Supportive parents and a balanced life are keys to success, according to this product engineer, entrepreneur, and Knead doughnut aficionado.
