SBME Students Place First at BMES Coulter College Program

The SBME family congratulates Osamah Mian, James Elias, Benjamin Seibert and Daniel Cheong for their award-winning presentation entitled "Designing a public blood glucose monitoring system." The award was given during the BMES Coulter College program at Medtronic in Minneapolis. The team's presentation was ranked first over other projects, including those from John Hopkins, George Washington and Temple University. OU ranked in the top three overall in the Coulter College Program.

Dr. Moore and his student's design project is in type 2 diabetes management: providing more personalized, affordable and actionable insight for patients.

This award represents a significant achievement for the team's hard work and dedication.

Osamah Mian, James Elias, Benjamin Seibert and Daniel Cheong are advised by Dr. Marc Moore.

Samant Pratik awarded first place at the OU 3MT final competition

The SBME family congratulates Samant Pratik, a PHD student in the Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering, for his award-winning presentation on "Listening for Cancer with X-ray Induced Ultrasound" at the OU 3MT final competition on February 22, 2019. He was awarded first place

His research is focused on “Designing and constructing the hardware and software for a 3D nanoscale photoacoustic tomography for in-vivo label-free imaging of red blood cells at super-resolution (on the order ofnm)” and “Designing and constructing the hardware and software of an X-ray Acoustic Computed Tomography for 3D x-ray imaging with a single projection and high resolution x-ray absorption contrast”. Bio medical Engineering (IBEST & SBME) are very proud of Samant for representing the University of Oklahoma at the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools 3MT Competition.

This truly represents a significant achievement for his hard work!

Samant Pratik is advised in research by Dr. Lei Ding.
