Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering- Biomedical Modeling

SUNY Stony Brook University

The Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook University trains individuals with baccalaureate degrees in engineering, applied mathematics, and the sciences to provide them with the synthesis, design, and analysis skills necessary to contribute effectively to the advancement of technology in health and medical care. The M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs are specifically designed to provide graduate students and engineering professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to transfer recent developments in the basic sciences into commercially viable products and processes. Training of the student is accomplished by exposing the individual to the biology, engineering, and business concepts critical to succeeding in the biomedical research and development environment.Biomedical modeling imploys the use of computer simulations, discrete mathematics and numerical methods in order to mimic dynamic biomedical systems. Among other purposes simulations and models are often used in order to support and strengthen experimental conclusions as well as to provide a more accurate model of behavior in tough to image systems. Here at Stony Brook, advances are made using our own Seawulf Computing Cluster, and the New York Blue Super Computer, currently the fastest super computer available for non-classified research.
