Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Biomedical Engineering

Wright State University

This focus area prepares students for the increasing demand for cutting-edge medical equipment, devices, and therapeutic approaches, by applying the principles of engineering and applied science to problems in biology and medicine, understanding the dynamics of living systems, and developing biomedical systems, devices, and alternative therapies for chronic conditions such as organ failure, severe tissue damage. The focus area in biomedical engineering emphasizes biomedical imaging, biomechanics, tissue engineering, nanomedicine, human-computer interaction, neuroscience, and neuroengineering. This joining of the diverse scientific fields is complemented by strong academic and research collaboration with other Wright State departments and collaborating institutions.
