Jonathan Calvert, a postdoctoral researcher working with Associate Professor David Borton, has been named a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) 2022 Riser. DARPA Risers are up-and-coming standouts in their fields, whose research is related to national security and demonstrates the potential to lead to technological surprise — the heart of DARPA’s mission.
Kiara Lee, a doctoral student in biomedical engineering, was recently published in ACS Analytical Chemistry for her research on a new testing method of dried blood spots (DBSs). Lee’s research provides a new, simpler way to test DBSs, which are commonly used to analyze blood for a variety of purposes, including pharmacological testing, genetic analyses, monitoring of viral infections and more. DBSs are an alternative method to collect blood for disease testing because their collection is less invasive than other techniques.

Riley Renee Flores ’22.5 was honored with a best research presentation award at the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers’ national convention held last week in Charlotte, N.C.
Prateek is a 2nd year Biomedical Engineering master’s student pursuing the non-thesis track. In his third semester at Brown, he was able to participate in the co-op program as an international student. Prateek worked in the Research & Development team at BD in Warwick, RI.
“There isn’t always a diverse group of engineers at the table, so these potential blind spots can be overlooked,” says Rutendo Jakachira, a Ph.D. student in physics at Brown University and part of a team developing a device that accounts for skin-tone differences.
Brown biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate Cel Welch and Professor Anubhav Tripathi are among five global finalists in the Most Innovative Solution in Digital Health and Social Care category, sponsored by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) to recognize and celebrate the very best new innovations across the breadth of science, engineering and technology in 2022.
Kevin LoGiudice is a 2nd year PhD student in Dr. Srivastava’s lab. He graduated from the ScM program in 2021 and continued to do his PhD in the same lab where he conducts biomechanics research. Prior to joining Brown in 2019, he worked in the chemical engineering industry but decided to refocus his career towards the biomedical field.
Welcome to our 3 5th year Master's, 25 Master's, and 11 PhD students!
Congratulations Dr. Black, Dr. Celinskis, and Dr. Yin!
