Multidisciplinary Human Biomechanics and Design Lab
In the Multidisciplinary Biomechanics and Design Lab at Wichita State University, students examine movement, analyze real world situations and offer insight on how to prevent injuries. This lab offers hands on experience for students, allowing them to create their own studies and apply knowledge they've gained from the College of Engineering to real world situations.
Biomaterials and Bioengineering Laboratory
Welcome to the Biomaterials and Bioengineering Laboratory webpage. We are located in Begg's Hall 108. The following video gives a brief overview of our research group.
Biomedical sensors, Imaging, and Modeling, Engineering (BioME) Lab
Dr. Kim Cluff is the principal investigator (PI) for the Biomedical sensors, Imaging, and Modeling, Engineering (BioME) Lab where students gain hands on experience with cutting edge research involving advanced medical imaging systems, sophisticated bioinstrumentation, innovative sensors, and powerful biocomputational modeling software.
Mechanobiology and Biomedicine Lab (coming soon)
Cardiovascular mechanobiolgy, cell-tissue biophysics, instrumentation/devices to understand cell and tissue mechanobiology, identifying novel surrogate markers of diseases, gene regulation, epigenetics, cell and tissue engineering, regenerative medicine
Neuro-Robotics Lab
Dr. Jaydip Desai is the principal investigator in the Neuro-Robotics Lab at Wichita State University. Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) is a novel technology
that can aid paralyzed patients to replace or restore useful physiological functions
using electrical impulses from human brain. Our Neuro-Robotics lab focuses on noninvasive
methods to acquire EEG signals from human brain, develop EEG signal processing techniques,
implement neural network algorithms and extract features to control various robotics
devices using motor imaginary signals and steady state visual evoked potential signals
from human brain. Real time BMI techniques are developed to control robotic hands,
limbs and automobile robots using neural network algorithms.
