A team of Purdue researchers has developed a new deep learning model that could significantly improve how we study fluid movement in the brain. Offering a sharper view into the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.

For Neil Dalvi, a biomedical engineering student at the Weldon School, the classroom was just the beginning. Through Purdue’s Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program Dalvi joined the BME FROC Team to help tackle a global health challenge. Limited access to medical-grade oxygen in low-resource settings.

When Purdue BME Assistant Professor Ramses Martinez started exploring ways to make metallic nanostructures faster and more affordably, he didn't think he would have made a new process. Now, his work has received a patent for a roll to roll techniques that simplifies how these structures are made. Making them more practical for real world applications like flexible electronics and medical devices.

Cortland Johns, a PhD student in Purdue’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, has been awarded a 2025–2026 STEM Chateaubriand Fellowship, a prestigious international scholarship funded by the Embassy of France in the United States. The award will support Johns as she travels to France to conduct part of her doctoral research in collaboration with a French research team.

The Bravo+ Award recognizes a stand-out accomplishment or over-the-top achievement of a Purdue faculty or staff member. The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering had four Bravo+ Award winners.

Chi Hwan Lee, the Leslie A. Geddes Professor of Biomedical Engineering has received a patent for a device that makes it easier to gently pick up and move fragile materials like thin tissues or tiny electronics.

Dr. Young Kim’s innovative research on non-invasive anemia detection continues to gain national attention—most recently featured by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics.

Louis Lee, a first-year biomedical engineering student at Purdue University in Indianapolis, received an honorable mention in the Spring 2025 Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Contest. This semester’s theme was “Dreams.”
