Medical Device Engineering, A Master of Advanced Study Program, is now open for 2012 Admissions

Posted in

The U.S. industry leads the world in medical device innovation and production. To remain competitive, the next generation of devices will build on recent advances in bioengineering, biomaterials, genomics, computing and telecommunications. Medical device and instrumentation companies require continuing education for their engineers and scientists so that they can take advantage of these new technologies and apply them to product development. The departments of Bioengineering and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offer a degree program in Medical Device Engineering.

Professor Jorge Cortes and his PhD student Cameron Nowzari win the 2012 O. Hugo Schuck Award

Posted in

Professor Jorge Cortes and his PhD student Cameron Nowzari have won the 2012 O. Hugo Schuck Award in the Theory category of the American Automatic Control Council for their paper "Self-triggered coordination of robotic networks for optimal deployment." 

The Hugo Schuck Award is given to recognize the best two papers presented at the previous American Control Conference. One award is for a paper emphasizing contributions to theory and the other emphasizing significant or innovative applications. Criteria for selection include the quality of the written and oral presentation, the technical contribution, timeliness, and practicality.

ABSTRACT

For the past century, advances in cardiovascular surgery have mainly come about through a `trial and error' approach, using surgeon experience, and evaluation of patient outcomes to judge success. On the other hand, the engineering field has developed sophisticated tools for computational simulation and optimization that have now become commonplace in the the design process. Similar tools could greatly benefit the medical field by offering the means to systematically test new surgical designs at no risk to the patient, and to customize designs for individual patients. While great strides have been made in developing cardiovascular simulation methods, hurdles remain before ordering a patient-specific simulation is as easy as, for example, ordering a chest x-ray. Major roadblocks to adoption of these methods in the clinic include the current lack of cyberinfrastructure that can achieve clinically relevant time frames, as well as a lack of tools for efficient manipulation and optimization of surgical designs.
