A brain-machine interface (BMI) involves recording the neural signals associated with movement intention directly from those parts of the brain. BME’s Maria Dardalat Makin is using this to help restore movement and sensation after brain injury.

The coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated how crucially important it is to bring new and innovative medical products to market as quickly as possible, while still ensuring they are safe and effective and perform as intended.

Teaching agricultural and food engineering, advancing STEM learning, studying cardiac remodeling, and improving Alzheimer's disease treatments are some of the research projects of four Purdue Engineering faculty who have been named U.S. Fulbright Faculty Scholars.

David M. Umulis has been named the Dane A. Miller Head of Purdue University’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, effective July 1.

The Graduate School held its PhD ceremony at 10 a.m. Sunday, May 16 at Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music for 198 doctoral candidates, of which 119 were expected to be from the College of Engineering. Purdue Provost Jay Akridge spoke at that ceremony.

Congratulations to all students graduating in the Class of 2021. With an expected 1,553 BS, 411 MS, and 119 PhD degrees being awarded to Boilermaker Engineers, it’s the College of Engineering's largest spring commencement.

Mobile health (mHealth) technologies will play a key role in digital initiatives to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes, reduce cost and inequality, and enhance the patient experience. BME’s Young Kim is taking a different approach — to completely minimize the complicated hardware and avoid smartphone attachments.

One of the many pluses of the virtual world is the ability to model before taking an irreversible action. Combining that modeling with medical imaging is a powerful combination of both worlds: the predictive powers of a virtual tool with the real-world images of the subject.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to make ordinary trips, which most people take for granted, available and convenient for persons with disabilities. Brad Duerstock and Brandon Pitts are developing a platform called EASI RIDER — Efficient, Accessible and Safe Interaction in a Real Integrated Design Environment for Riders with disabilities.
