Biomedical Systems Concentration (BMS)

For student interested primarily in medical system studies, the systems aspects of biomedical, surgical, or other biomedical-engineering system devices, including MEMS or nanoscale system devices, as well as use of dynamic biosystem modeling for optimizing or developing new clinical diagnostic or therapeutic protocols. Example research problems include feedback biocontrol system model development for imaging-based medical diagnosis; and optimal control of therapeutic drug delivery.
