Biomedical engineering senior Saahil Sachdeva is driven by and exemplifies outstanding engineering with a direct and positive impact. It makes sense, then, that he first came to study engineering out of a desire to work on his bike pedals.
Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering Simon Cherry's career spans more than three decades. His work has centered around understanding human health and disease as well as pursuing novel ways to develop faster and more sensitive imaging technologies that may benefit patients all over the world.
Biomedical engineering senior Tiffany Chan received a Hanson Family Award for research on free student-faculty lunches that foster community in STEM. Her work blends empathy with evidence to shape a more inclusive academic culture — one lunch (and data set) at a time.
Rachel Mizenko, who earned her Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from UC Davis in 2024, has been selected by the College of Engineering to receive the Zuhair A. Munir Award for best doctoral dissertation for her research with extracellular vesicles.
Biomedical Engineering doctoral candidate Alita D'Almeida receives the 2025 Excellence in Graduate Student Service & Leadership award for her outstanding contributions across her department and the College of Engineering at the University of California, Davis.
Each year, the College of Engineering celebrates outstanding faculty with awards that recognize their dedication to ensuring the future of engineering through teaching and research.
After eight years of planning and development, Aggie Square opened its doors on the University of California, Davis' Sacramento campus on May 2. Among the first experts setting the stage for the expansive innovation district are members of the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
From bioengineering and medical device development, the next chapter of UC Davis' innovation story is set to unfold at Aggie Square. Here is a look at three innovative teams and programs connected to the College of Engineering that are getting ready to call it home.
Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a fast and cost-effective microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), in the College of Engineering at UC Davis, invites applications for a pool of qualified temporary instructors to teach courses. Screening of applicants is ongoing and will continue as needed.
Next review date: May 30, 2025. Apply before this date to ensure full consideration by the committee.
There are up to twelve positions open for the Fall 2025 (which may include a summer appointment), Winter 2026, and Spring 2026 quarters.
