Welcome to
Biomedical Engineering
UT Austin Department of Biomedical Engineering professors James Tunnell and Michael Sacks received the prestigious Best Paper Award from the Annals of Biomedical Engineering (ABME).
Sacks and Tunnell were co-authors of the paper, “Simultaneous Wide-Field Planar Strain–Fiber Orientation Distribution Measurement Using Polarized Spatial Domain Imaging,” along with three other researchers.
An award-winning program led by UT Austin Biomedical Engineering graduate students strives to promote inclusion for Graduate Teaching Assistants and encourage open communication.
Erika Treviño is a Research Support Coordinator who manages the operations for six faculty members and their research team members. She has been with the Department of Biomedical Engineering for a little more than a year after starting in August of 2022.
The University of Texas at Austin Biomedical Engineering undergraduate program ranked No. 13 in the U.S. News & World Report best college rankings released on September 18, 2023.
Academic presentations are a usual sight to see in the conference rooms scattered about the Department of Biomedical Engineering building. Yet throughout the Summer of 2023, there were several presentations significantly different than your typical PowerPoint.
Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin are leading a team from 16 top engineering programs to establish a roadmap for hiring diverse faculty members. The authors of the new paper in Nature Biomedical Engineering call for an overhaul of hiring processes in engineering that despite best efforts have failed to increase diversity.
