Research in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
Research Domains
BME at The Ohio State University (OSU) started as a graduate program in 1971 with focus on signal processing. Over time, that focus has changed, and the current domains of interest, described below, are based on areas of activity (recent publications) for the core faculty. We plan to re-center our educational offerings around these domains, strengthen focus with addtional faculty and collaborations with colleagues.
