Between maintaining A+ grades as a biomedical engineering major, earning a provisional patent and co-authoring a research paper at the University of California, Davis, Neeraj Senthil's weekly activities have included cuddling sick babies at the university’s medical center and teaching math at local schools.
If engineering is the translation of science, then Shahin Shams, a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from the University of California, Davis, adds another level of complexity to that maxim: "capable of bringing pathbreaking ideas to life."
The NHLBI offers the award as extended assistance on research programs to principal investigators who have proven their ability to make significant contributions in heart, lung, blood or sleep research.
Biomedical Engineering graduate students Jessica Korte and Ada Kanapskyte are among four College of Engineering students admitted into the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Program Fellowship.
The Hiruma/Wagner Award celebrates early career researchers who provide outstanding presentations at the Peace Through Mind/Brain Science conference in Hamamatsu, Japan — an event that has sought to bring greater world peace through a deeper understanding of the human mind and brain chemistry since 1988.
Biomedical Engineering Assistant Professor Randy Carney has received the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development, or NSF CAREER, Award.
The CAREER program offers the foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models and lead advances in the mission of their department.
Bangyan Huang, a second-year doctoral student at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, was recently awarded first place in the 2022 Christopher J. Thompson Best Student Paper Award for his oral presentation “Statistical Image Reconstruction of Positron Lifetime via Time-Weighting (SIMPLE).” Huang received the award at the IEEE Medical Imaging Conference, which was held both online and in Milan, Italy in November 2022.
Audrey Fan, assistant professor of biomedical engineering and neurology, was recently awarded a Trailblazer R21 Award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering to pursue creating non-invasive, accessible MRI scans that show oxygen usage in the human brain.
Assistant Professor Randy Carney from the Department of Biomedical Engineering is the recipient of the 2022 University of California’s Shu Chien Early Career Jury Award. The annual UC-wide award is given to the pre-tenured faculty who demonstrates outstanding scholarly achievement and is awarded at the UC Systemwide Bioengineering Symposium held each summer.
The award-winning team, named Spinal Protective Implant for Neonatal Enhancement (SPINE), included undergraduate seniors from the Department of Biomedical Engineering: Rajul Bains, Natalie Kelly, Shannon Lamb, Joe Morrison and Maya Mysore. The competitive annual award, which is given at the Engineering Design Showcase, is supported by Sandia National Laboratories and recognizes an outstanding engineering design project that supports the lab’s mission, which is to secure a peaceful and free world through technology.
