Biomedical Engineering Research

Biomedical Engineering Research Name: Course: Instructor: Date: Introduction Biomedical engineering research requires wide application of concepts and principles taught in the classroom and laboratory to provide solutions to existing problems in the healthcare sector. The research work that is conducted bridges the gap that exists between medicine and engineering. The field is relatively new in comparison to other engineering fields, and this has contributed to the increasing cases of research work being conducted. The Lawrence Technology University (LTU) has some of the most accomplished faculty members in the field. The paper discusses some of the research work that is being covered by some of the faculty members in collaboration with the students. Research work conducted by faculty members Dr. Eric Meyer is an Assistant Professor at the Lawrence Technology University under the department of Biomedical Engineering. The professor has undertaken several research projects in his career with peculiar interest in sports injuries that damage the anterior crucial ligament (ACL). He is currently undertaking a project to further his research on sports related injuries with the aim of establishing a way of preventing such injuries. The study is being conducted on knee and ankle injuries that are commonplace amongst athletes. The impact of the research if successful could be far-reaching in the advancement of the careers of different athletes. The professor with the aid of his students is conducting the research project. Student participation in the project is trough study projects that are directed. The research is being conducted within the institution with the aid of a three-dimensional computer model developed recently. The major reason for conducting the research is to understand the cause of the injuries to ensure that measures are taken to subvert them from occurring. The funding of the project is from the personal finances of the professor in collaboration with the department of Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Yawen Li is an assistant professor at the LTU in Biomedical Engineering under the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She has been a faculty member of the university from 2008 to date. In her career, she has tackled a wide range of research projects that have been essential in the biomedical industry. Her current project involves the regeneration of...
