Consists of classroom lectures on fundamental concepts in magnetism and magnetic micro and nano-materials and their applications in biomedicine. Participants present a critical review of recent literature in the field and lead a group discussion on a specific, recent paper.

Selected topics in biomedical engineering. Topics will vary each semester. See syllabi below for current and previous course offerings.

This course will focus on the understanding of mechanical behavior of biological tissues and systems. The course will begin by evaluating structure-function relationships, stress-strain relationships, and the mechanical complexity of biological systems. In addition, the basics of viscoelastic behavior will… Read More
