The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering welcomed students from the first session of the Seminar for Top Engineering Prospects (STEP) Thursday.

Aaron Kyle, a PhD alumnus of the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, was named a Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), while being a professor at Duke University and director of the Outreach Design Education Program.

Hao-Cheng Gao, a graduate student in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, recently won first place in the 2024 NIH BRAIN Initiative Video Contest.

Adam Wright, a PhD student in Yunjie Tong’s lab, recently accepted the Merit Award: Summa Cum Laude from the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) during their annual conference. He was given the award for being in the top 5% of abstracts based on his research regarding diffusion imaging and human glymphatics.

Purdue University in Indianapolis may be new but Biomedical Engineering has been a part of the Indianapolis landscape for decades. As a part of the Purdue expansion to Indianapolis, the Biomedical Engineering department in Indianapolis officially joins the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering.

A major challenge in caring for our animal’s health is they cannot verbally tell us what is wrong with them.

Looking for an apple in a bowl of fruit, how do you locate the apple? Your brain must correctly bind together the location and features of each fruit. This “binding problem” is a significant challenge for artificial neural networks for object or scene recognition, which often have to add in attention mechanisms or memory-augmented architectures to mitigate the problem.

Twenty-three students from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, the College of Engineering and other Purdue University colleges and departments spent two weeks in Japan visiting medical device companies, universities, research facilities and government agencies.

Twenty-seven high school students toured the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering as a part of the 2024 Health Science Institute.

A first-of-its-kind Virtual Reality (VR) Anatomy Lab course was created in 2023 to help prepare Purdue Biomedical Engineering students for their future careers in biomedical sciences.
