Thursday, May 9, 2024 marked a momentous occasion, a culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and an unyielding quest for knowledge. It was a celebration of a graduating class, a cohort of bright minds ready to make a significant impact on the world of biomedical science.

The National Science Foundation has bestowed two prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards to University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder biomedical engineering students. The national awards recognize and support outstanding grad students from

Shields has been honored with a 2024 Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar award for his contributions to teaching and research on medical microrobots, self-propelled miniature robots that one day might deliver prescription drugs to hard-to-reach places inside the human body.

Sixteen members of a sled hockey team recently visited Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder for what Alena Grabowski, BME faculty member, hopes will be the first in a series of studies aimed at helping sled hockey players improve their performance and minimize injury.

Each semester, the College of Engineering and Applied Science recognizes graduating students with awards in eight categories that reflect the values of the college community. Students may be nominated by faculty, staff or their peers.

In a new perspective article, a team of engineers from the United States and Canada, including Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder roboticist and BME faculty member Kaushik Jayaram, analyzed data from dozens of studies. In almost all cases, biological organisms, such as cheetahs, cockroaches and even humans, seem to be able to outrun their robot counterparts.

The research is one of the first studies to experimentally tease apart the competing reasons why people over age 65 might not be as quick on their feet as they used to be. The findings could one day give doctors new tools for diagnosing a range of illnesses, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and even depression and schizophrenia, said study co-author Alaa Ahmed, BME faculty member.

Several students from the Biomedical Engineering Program have earned 2024 Graduating Student Awards from the College of Engineering and Applied Science and from the program.

Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder's journey towards gender parity in engineering is a clear signal that diversity in STEM is achievable. In just two decades, CEAS has transformed its engineering landscape, growing its female undergraduate class from 18% in 2003 to 30% in 2023.
