Matthew Ward, research assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Purdue University, has already surpassed $1M in new funding for the period July 2021 through August 2022.

Chi Hwan Lee, associate professor of biomedical engineering, was recently awarded the 2020 Editor's Award from the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (Speech section).

As a child, Chi Hwan Lee always had Lego sets on his birthday list. Lee, who loves math and physics, would spend hours building the sets – following the instructions as well as his imagination.

That imagination and those Lego pieces became the building blocks of Lee’s Purdue University research, which focuses on converting items like contact lenses and prosthetic hands into smart devices with specially designed electronic stickers to measure vision loss or simulate the sense of feeling.

Purdue Engineering Graduate Programs is hosting the Purdue Engineering Virtual Graduate Showcase, a premier graduate recruitment event, Oct. 3 and 4.
