ASME’s Summer Bioengineering Conference took place from June 22nd – 25th in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico. This conference is a scientific and technical exchange that features theme-related workshops, banquets, and BS/MS/PhD student paper competitions.
This year’s competition finalists had three selected PhD and Undergraduate students from the Biomedical Engineering program under Professor Jeff Weiss as well as a BME Graduate Research Assistant under Adjunct Associate Professor Luke Timmins.
Each student had to provide a 2-page extended abstract to be reviewed. Out of over 200 PhD level submissions, 36 finalists were selected. On the Undergraduate level, 23 finalists were selected out of 100 submissions.
Here are the Biomedical Engineering finalists and their collaborators:
