Purdue Engineering Graduate Programs is hosting the Purdue Engineering Virtual Graduate Showcase, a premier graduate recruitment event, Sept. 25-26.

A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Purdue University won the Truth CT Reconstruction Grand Challenge, which was organized by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). The team’s win was announced at the 2022 AAPM Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, in July.

Elsje Pienaar, assistant professor in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, is developing computational models across multiple time and spatial scales, designing new methods of analysis and testing model predictions experimentally by using a mini-genome replica of the Ebola infection.

Bumsoo Han, a professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering (courtesy), has been developing engineered tumor-stroma models using genetic engineering, microfluidics and 3D-printing technologies.

The MOU to transform IUPUI includes the creation of a joint biosciences engineering institute to harness the power of the universities' collective academic and research strengths and ongoing collaboration between Purdue's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and Indiana University's School of Medicine.

A team of Purdue engineering professors was named the winner of the $1 million 1st place prize on July 26 in the 2020 U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Inclusive Design Challenge (IDC). The contest aimed at improving transportation access to persons with disabilities and individuals with mobility challenges.

David Umulis, professor and the Dane A. Miller head of Purdue University’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, is examining how artificial intelligence can help in human longevity.

More than 100 staff members in the College of Engineering received cash awards.

Shelley Claridge is one of 10 recipients of the award, which provides $500,000 a year, paid through their institution, for up to five years to help support part of a research group.

Current BME lab PhD research student, Javier Muñoz Briones, was chosen as a LATinE Trailblazers in Engineering Fellow through Purdue University's College of Engineering for the summer 2022 cohort.
