The department of biomedical engineering offers research-based programs leading to Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees, as well as an instructional-based graduate certificate in biomaterials and tissue engineering. Graduate students participate with faculty in their research, where departmental faculty have developed research activities in the following areas of specialization:

• Biomaterials, surface modification of metallic alloys, biodegradable metallic implants, 3D-printing and additive manufacturing;
• Musculoskeletal biomechanics, human movement computer simulation, rehabilitation engineering and technology, human movement coordination;
• Cardiovascular mechanobiology, cell-tissue biophysics, instrumentation/devices to understand cell and tissue mechanobiology, identifying novel surrogate markers of diseases, gene regulation, cell and tissue engineering;
• Brain-machine interface, neural signal processing, prosthesis, cognitive neuroscience, biomechantronics, rehabilitation robotics;
