From 2015 to 2017 he served as the interim chair of the Department. He is also the co-director of the Orthotics and Prosthetics track, a self-supporting program within the Master’s Program of Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Lin obtain his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Chung-Yuan Christian University in Taiwan, ROC in 1987. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering, under the supervision of Dr. A.J. Welch and Dr. Massoud Motamedi, from the University of Texas at Austin in Austin, TX. Upon completion of his Ph.D. degree in 1997, he received a postdoctoral fellowship from the W. M. Keck Foundation FEL Center and jointed the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. In 2000 he because a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Lin’s research focuses on developing engineering solutions for diagnosing and treating tissue disorders and injuries, with a strong emphasis on pediatric brain disorders. To date, his research projects have been funded by National Institute of Health, Department of Defense, Thrasher Research Fund, and American Heart Association.\r\n<h2><strong>Research</strong></h2>\r\nDr. Lin’s research involves developing non-destructive optical and mechanical technologies that can detect disease development and tissue injuries in vivo. These techniques can be either one-dimensional (i.e., point detection) or multi-dimensional (i.e., imaging). The potential medical applications for such techniques, once developed, are abundant. For example, they may be used intraoperatively to guide tumor resection and to monitor the progression of a novel therapy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Research related to neuroscience and neuroengineering</strong>\r\n\r\nDr. Lin’s research team at Miami Children’s Hospital is interested in developing new approaches to diagnose and treat pediatric epilepsy and brain tumor. Currently, their research efforts focus on addressing the intraoperative needs of pediatric brain tumor and epilepsy surgery. For example, the team has developing an effective surgical guidance system that can differentiate abnormal (i.e., neoplastic and epileptic) brain area from the normal one in vivo based on their intrinsic properties.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/lin-01.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49577\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/lin-01-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" /></a>\r\n\r\n(a) A point detection system for intraoperative demarcation of pediatric neoplastic and epileptic brain.

While many pathological and physiological alterations in the left ventricle (LV) myocardium have been identified post-infarction, on-site acquisition of this information remains unavailable in in vivo and intraoperative situations.\r\n\r\nThe long-term goal of this research project is to develop an effective technique, based on optical spectroscopy and fiber optics, in order to detect the pathophysiological changes in myocardium resulting from infarction in vivo. Once developed, this technique will be used in conjunction with cardiac catheterization to allow physicians (1) to identify viable myocardium within and around infarcts; (2) to gain specific knowledge regarding an infarct’s age and size; and (3) to assess microvascular damage surrounding infarcts.\r\n<h2><strong>Current Research Projects</strong></h2>\r\nOptical characterization of neoplastic and epileptogenic brain in pediatric patients\r\nIn vivo differentiation of normal, stunned, hibernating, and scarred myocardium using optical spectroscopy\r\nDynamics of tissue optical and mechanical properties\r\nTissue viability assessment using optical spectroscopy\r\n<h2><strong>Selected Publications</strong></h2>\r\n1.

He received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Louisiana Tech University and post-doctoral training in the Department of Pharmacology and Cell Biophysics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Before Joining FIU he was as Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati Department of Radiology, Divisions of Nuclear Medicine and Medical Physics. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). He served as Interim Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering from 2007-2010. He was National President to the Alpha Eta Mu Beta Biomedical Engineering Honor Society 2010-2014. He has over 200 journal articles, book chapters and proceeding papers. He has received funding from the NIH, NSF, DOD, AHA, and Fl-DOH as well as numerous companies.\r\n<h2><strong>Research</strong></h2>\r\nDrug delivery research may involve the design of new drugs, or developing strategies to monitor and improve drug transport to target tissue. The primary research focus in this lab is the development of tissue or cell specific contrast agents and probes (both optical and radioactive) for noninvasive molecular imaging of cellular and tissue characterization, for monitoring toxicity, for tracking the biodistribution of known toxins and drugs, and image guided therapy. Another focus is the development of multimodal drugs that simultaneously image and provide therapy. Of primary concern as new drugs are developed is that these drugs be specific in terms of their mechanism and site of action. Verifying that the drug has reached their target is an important component of therapy.\r\n\r\nMolecular Imaging allows visualization of not only organs and cells but also biochemical processes within the cells that are associated with specific disease. This information can improve the accuracy of a diagnosis, provide better assessment of the severity of disease and even monitor the response to therapy. Light at the near-infrared wavelength can penetrate deeper into tissue than can visible light and does not induce DNA damage. Therefore, true in vivo imaging is practical with near-infrared probes. Dyes that absorb energy in the near-infrared region will release heat following exposure to the appropriate wavelength and can kill cancer cells. Therefore, by including such dyes with the chemotherapy agent or incorporating the dye into the drug delivery vehicle, therapy can be targeted since the drug will not be activated until it has reached its intended target. The therapy is image guided because the probe/therapeutic drug can be detected in vivo. Compared to optical imaging, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has the advantage of greater resolution and greatly reduced attenuation and scattering. In addition, the radiolabeling of drugs or biochemically important molecules with PET isotopes is much simpler, and typically results in chemicals with similar or identical properties to the original chemical. Such imaging approaches have been applied to understand the molecular basis of diseases, biochemical processes, gene delivery and expression, tissue receptor-ligand activity, enzyme mediated processes, drug discovery, monitoring novel therapy techniques, etc.\r\n\r\nParticles in a size range of 110-140 nm seem to be ideal drug delivery vehicles because they first avoid liver uptake, which filters smaller particles, but are small enough not to be removed by macrophages. For optimal performance, particles should have a small size distribution, uniform surface properties, must be able to complex various molecules very efficiently, must remain in the circulation long enough to be removed by the target tissue rather than the reticuloendothelial system (macrophages), and must be biocompatible and biodegradable. Small particles with neutral surfaces and prepared with polymers of high molecular weights are slowly cleared by macrophages while large particles with high surface potentials and prepared with polymers of low molecular weights are rapidly cleared by the macrophages. Nanoparticles coated with a higher molecular weight dextran or poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG) leads to a decrease of the surface charge, which increases their circulation time. Nanoparticles (polymer or liposomes) can be modified to target specific cells and designed to carry multiple therapeutic agents and multiple imaging probes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radiochemistry and Dosimetry</strong>\r\n\r\nWe are developing PET radiochemicals that report regional metabolic/functional variables of various organs or tumors, and examining their cellular uptake kinetics. In addition to clinical studies, tests are conducted in whole animal, isolated organ and isolated cell models. We are developing tools for automatic segmentation and registration of organs and tumors to accurately determine tumor functional and anatomical volumes which is required for accurate dosimetry calculations for Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) planning. https://nuclearoncology.org/\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\"><a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-11.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1462\" title=\"petct-1\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-11.jpg\" alt=\"petct\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" /></a></td>\r\n<td style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\"> <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-21.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1463\" title=\"petct-2\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-21.jpg\" alt=\"petct\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nPET/CT image of a patient with liver cancer demonstrating the mismatch between the functional and anatomical size of the tumor, which can negatively impact patient response to therapy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Respiratory Gated Positron Emission Tomography (PET)</strong>\r\n\r\nPET glucose metabolism is often used to diagnose cancer since the fast growing highly metabolic tumor requires more energy than surrounding tissue. An accurate diagnosis requires a precise measure of the size of the tumor. But, due to the movement of the lungs during respiration, obtaining an accurate image of a lung or liver tumors is difficult. We are developing instrumentation and imaging processing algorithms to gate the PET camera acquisition with the patient’s respiratory motion to reduce the lung motion artifacts. Recently PET has been combined with CT, which provides anatomy. In addition to supplying an anatomic reference for the PET metabolic image, the CT is also used to correct for attenuation of the PET to improve image quality. In order to apply CT attenuation correction to imagines of tissue in the lung, a computer-assisted automatic identification of lung lesions in the PET/CT images is being developed to account for the movement of the lungs during the PET imaging.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1465\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"487\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pet-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1465\" title=\"pet-1\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pet-1.jpg\" alt=\"pet\" width=\"487\" height=\"476\" /></a> PET and CT images from a GE Discover LS Hybrid PET/CT from Baptist Hospital of Miami.[/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/phantom.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1472\" title=\"phantom\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/phantom.jpg\" alt=\"phantom\" width=\"547\" height=\"156\" /></a></em>\r\n\r\nFrom left to right are the CT, PET, and PET/CT fused images.

Early detection of small primary tumors is critical for successful therapy and improved survival rates. Chemotherapy is often the first choice for treating many cancers. It is critical that the chemical be sequestered only in the target tissue at toxic concentrations so that nontarget tissue exposure is minimized. However, it is often difficult to ensure that the chemotherapy targets only the cancer and further that the chemical is localizing in the target tissue. Cancer cells easily take up extremely small (nano-sized) particles. New technologies are being developed to allow for the creation of complex nanoscale materials as drug delivery vehicles and sensors. Combining therapy with imaging has the potential to enhance the efficacy of treatment by ensuring and verifying that the drug reaches the target tissue, while minimizing nontarget tissue uptake. Light in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength can easily pass through tissue and therefore, NIR fluorescent tracers can be used for imaging. Dyes that absorb energy may also release heat following exposure to the appropriate wavelength light and kill cancer cells. With a light sensitive dye incorporated into the drug delivery vehicle, therapy can be targeted since the drug won’t be activated with a laser until the drug has reached its intended target. The long term objective of this study is to develop a methodology of improved diagnosis and treatment of cancer by combining therapy and imaging in the same drug. The study is a collaboration of engineers, chemists, biologists, and clinicians with expertise in drug design, drug delivery modeling, and experimental models of cancer.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1467\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"433\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1467\" title=\"nanoparticle\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"433\" height=\"353\" /></a> Schematic of multimodal targeted polymer nanoparticle.[/caption]\r\n\r\n<em>\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1470\" title=\"nanoparticle2\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle2.jpg\" alt=\"nanoparticle\" width=\"516\" height=\"414\" /></a> </em>\r\nUpper Left: Indocyanine Green (ICG) loaded polymer nanoparticles in cancer cells.

The TEMIM lab, conducts both experimental and computational investigations in this area. A major goal of the lab is to develop functional tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs) using 1) porcine small intestinal submucosa (PSIS) substrates and 2) mechanically regulate stem cells for the TEHV application as well as for (3) broader application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine. Concurrently the TEMIM lab is also working towards the elucidation of mechanobiological cellular and molecular mechanisms that are involved in the etiology of valve diseases, particularly aortic valve calcification. A specific project in this area involves (4) the delineation of mechanosensitive fluid and structural conditions of the aortic valve due to elastin remodeling that may serve as an early indicator of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). In addition, at the cellular level, the lab is interested in identifying the fluid-induced mechanobiological responses of valve endothelial cells in valve homeostasis and in the development of CAVD. The research in the TEMIM lab has been supported by the AHA, NSF, industry and academic funding sources.\r\n<h2><b>Selected Publications</b></h2>\r\n1) Rath S, Salinas M, Villegas A, Ramaswamy S.

During 1995-1998, he was “Junior Associate” of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (Italy), where he completed the required credits for a master degree in biophysics. In 1999, he received the Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of Havana. Part of his Ph.D. thesis was completed at the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital in Paris. Dr. Riera’s postdoctoral term were first at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute (Japan) and alter at NICHe, Tohoku University (Japan). In 2004, he was appointed associate professor in Tohoku University School of Medicine. From 2006-2011, his research was funded by three Japanese agencies: Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Telecommunications Advancement Organization of Japan and Japan Science and Technology. In 2011, he joined Florida International University (FIU), first as Visiting Professor and later as Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. For the past ~7 years he has directed the Neuronal Mass Dynamics (NMD) lab. He has also been appointed by the Honor College, the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine and the STEM Transformation Institute.\r\n<h2><strong>Research</strong></h2>\r\nBrain imaging constitutes a powerful tool to study brain functions in both healthy individuals and patients with a variety of brain disorders. The temporal resolution achieved at the present by different modalities allows us to study brain processes occurring from milliseconds to even days. Although much progress has been made, the biophysical foundations of brain imaging are still elusive. In order to identify the fundamental mechanisms underlying the genesis of brain imaging data from a microscopic approach, an intermediate physical level, the mesoscale, needs to be properly described and modeled (Fig. 1). Interpreting a variety of neuroimaging modalities (e.g. EEG/MEG, fMRI, PET/SPECT) at the mesoscopic level from a fundamental neuroscience perspective has been one of the long-term scientific goals in Dr. Riera’s career. In three recent reviews (J Integrative Neuroscience, 5(2), 273-326, 2006; NeuroImage 40, 1436-1459, 2008; Current Opinion in Neurology, 23(4), 374-381, 2010), he has discussed the physiological, biochemical and physical working principles at the mesoscopic level in the cerebral cortex with the strongest impact on the genesis of brain imaging.\r\n\r\nAt FIU, Dr. Riera performs invasive experiments on rodents, as well as non-invasive studies in humans. The latter are in collaboration with other researchers inside/outside FIU. The animal experiments carried out in Dr. Riera’s group are based on the combinations of pharmacological manipulations (i.e. agonist/antagonist agents) and four main recording techniques (i.e. intracranial electrical potentials obtained with microelectrode arrays, large-scale EEG data, laser Doppler flowmetry and O<sub>2</sub>/NO amperometric measurements). Through pharmacological manipulations, his group aims to isolate crucial pathways within the neurovascular coupling route and to enhance the activity of particular cortical microcircuit networks both in normal rodents and in those used to model pathological situations. Of particular interest are dementias, epilepsy, hypertension and the cerebro-vascular trauma.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/riera-figure1.jpg\"><img title=\"riera-figure1\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/riera-figure1.jpg\" alt=\"riera-figure1\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" /></a>\r\n<h2><strong>Selected Publications</strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Riera J.</strong>, Ogawa T., Goto T., Sumiyoshi A., Nonaka H., Evans A., Miyakawa H., Kawashima R.

How do astrocyte interactions with neurons contribute to information processing?  To address these questions, the lab makes use of recent developments in non-linear microscopy, viral vector engineering and protein engineering to ask cutting-edge questions about the cellular basis of brain function.  In particular, current studies apply two-photon imaging of genetically-encoded calcium indicators that have been targeted to specific brain cell types via viral vectors with specific serotypes and promoters to enable measurements of cellular and subcellular activity in both neurons and astrocytes.  With these tools, we address questions about the spatial scale of visual stimulus representation within cortical neurons and astrocyte, and the temporal dynamics of brain activity that underlie visual perception.  Ultimately, these studies will lay the groundwork for interventions to rescue vision in patients with compromised vision, or other neurological dysfunctions.','James Schummers, Ph.D.','','inherit','closed','closed','','49593-revision-v1','','','2018-10-25 09:20:36','2018-10-25 13:20:36','',49593,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/10/49593-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

This event provided an opportunity for our BME community to connect with professionals and learn about different perspectives on the industry and network with them. \"This event can be considered the first step on the creation of a strong network platform for the BME department at FIU,\" said Gabriela Rodriguez, president of FIU\'s AEMB student chapter. \"It is a great incentive for our students and faculty, and it can become the foundation to more scientific collaboration between FIU and the biomedical industry.\" Our department was also able to introduce their work to industry professionals, thus increasing job/internship opportunities for them. With the same spirit, company representatives were provided with booklets of student resumes. “We hope this will increase the attendance of BioFlorida employees in the future career fairs,” said Ph.D. candidate Zahra Nafar, who is also president of FIU’s BMES student chapter.\r\n\r\nWe welcomed keynote speaker Nicolas Leonardi, principal consultant at Electronic Business Development Experts, who gave a talk about the development of his business and gave students career development advice. We also welcomed our newest faculty member, Dr. Raj, who spoke about the formation of an industry advisory board. Lastly, was a summary presentation of ongoing research in our laboratories, presented by Ph.D. candidates, Maedeh Mozneb, Zahra Nafar, Amirala Bakhshian Nik, and Andres Pena.\r\n\r\n“I am really proud of the students at BME that did everything in their power to initiate a great tradition of networking events with BME local industries,” said Nafar. “I believe undergraduate BME students are very creative and motivated and I hope with more support from department, these activities will continue to be successful.”\r\n\r\nAs we are continuously encouraging our students to network and make connections, we plan to extend this event to all of Florida in the near future, as well as continue this semesterly tradition.\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"1\" size=\"large\" ids=\"50150,50148,50147,50146,50145,50144\"]','Evening with the Industry Event','','publish','closed','closed','','evening-with-the-industry-event','','','2018-11-09 14:10:15','2018-11-09 19:10:15','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=50143',0,'post','',0);

This event provided an opportunity for our BME community to connect with professionals and learn about different perspectives on the industry and network with them. \"This event can be considered the first step on the creation of a strong network platform for the BME department at FIU,\" said Gabriela Rodriguez, president of FIU\'s AEMB student chapter. \"It is a great incentive for our students and faculty, and it can become the foundation to more scientific collaboration between FIU and the biomedical industry.\" Our department was also able to introduce their work to industry professionals, thus increasing job/internship opportunities for them. With the same spirit, company representatives were provided with booklets of student resumes. “We hope this will increase the attendance of BioFlorida employees in the future career fairs,” said Ph.D. candidate Zahra Nafar, who is also president of FIU’s BMES student chapter.\r\n\r\nWe welcomed keynote speaker Nicolas Leonardi, principal consultant at Electronic Business Development Experts, who gave a talk about the development of his business and gave students career development advice. We also welcomed our newest faculty member, Dr. Raj, who spoke about the formation of an industry advisory board. Lastly, was a summary presentation of ongoing research in our laboratories, presented by Ph.D. candidates, Maedeh Mozneb, Zahra Nafar, Amirala Bakhshian Nik, and Andres Pena.\r\n\r\n“I am really proud of the students at BME that did everything in their power to initiate a great tradition of networking events with BME local industries,” said Nafar. “I believe undergraduate BME students are very creative and motivated and I hope with more support from department, these activities will continue to be successful.”\r\n\r\nAs we are continuously encouraging our students to network and make connections, we plan to extend this event to all of Florida in the near future, as well as continue this semesterly tradition.\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"1\" size=\"large\" ids=\"50150,50148,50147,50146,50145,50144\"]','Evening with the Industry Event','','inherit','closed','closed','','50143-revision-v1','','','2018-11-09 12:31:53','2018-11-09 17:31:53','',50143,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/11/50143-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);

This event provided an opportunity for our BME community to connect with professionals and learn about different perspectives on the industry and network with them. \"This event can be considered the first step on the creation of a strong network platform for the BME department at FIU,\" said Gabriela Rodriguez, president of FIU\'s AEMB student chapter. \"It is a great incentive for our students and faculty, and it can become the foundation to more scientific collaboration between FIU and the biomedical industry.\" Our department was also able to introduce their work to industry professionals, thus increasing job/internship opportunities for them. With the same spirit, company representatives were provided with booklets of student resumes. “We hope this will increase the attendance of BioFlorida employees in the future career fairs,” said Ph.D. candidate Zahra Nafar, who is also president of FIU’s BMES student chapter.\n\nWe welcomed keynote speaker Nicolas Leonardi, principal consultant at Electronic Business Development Experts, who gave a talk about the development of his business and gave students career development advice. We also welcomed our newest faculty member, Dr. Raj, who spoke about the formation of an industry advisory board. Lastly, was a summary presentation of ongoing research in our laboratories, presented by Ph.D. candidates, Maedeh Mozneb, Zahra Nafar, Amirala Bakhshian Nik, and Andres Pena.\n\n“I am really proud of the students at BME that did everything in their power to initiate a great tradition of networking events with BME local industries,” said Nafar. “I believe undergraduate BME students are very creative and motivated and I hope with more support from department, these activities will continue to be successful.”\n\nAs we are continuously encouraging our students to network and make connections, we plan to extend this event to all of Florida in the near future, as well as continue this semesterly tradition.\n\n[gallery columns=\"1\" size=\"large\" ids=\"50150,50148,50147,50146,50145,50144\"]','Evening with the Industry Event','','inherit','closed','closed','','50143-autosave-v1','','','2018-11-09 12:57:32','2018-11-09 17:57:32','',50143,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/11/50143-autosave-v1',0,'revision','',0);

Rick Scott wants to see more of. With a BS in biomedical engineering in hand, the 2016 alumnus stepped immediately from the commencement stage into a job with the South Florida division of medical technologies firm Stryker. Today the 25-year-old robotics systems engineer (pictured above) is leading a team in the design, development and eventual market release of a robot for use in knee and hip replacement surgeries.\r\n\r\nThat perfect example of a graduate’s transition from school to employment gets at the heart of the two-term governor’s ongoing demand that Florida’s 12 public universities do more to meet the needs of Florida’s companies. In response to Scott’s steady drumbeat on the subject, the State University System’s governing board in 2014 began measuring the institutions against a list of key performance indicators, among them: turning out holders of bachelor’s degrees ready to enter the workforce.\r\n\r\nAt the same time the official economic development organization for Miami-Dade County, The Miami-Dade Beacon Council, has undertaken efforts to foster areas of potential growth within the region and ensure a corresponding talent pool.\r\n\r\n“What we recognize is that education is the foundation of the strategic plan that will create economic sustainability for all of Miami-Dade County,” says Joseph E. Hovancak, vice president of the organization’s One Community One Goal initiative, which strives to create an environment for significant job creation in target industries. His office has brought together the presidents of local colleges and universities and the Miami-Dade County Public Schools superintendent under the umbrella of the Academic Leaders Council, of which FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg served as chair from 2012-2016. The group meets quarterly to discuss skills gaps, and its members interact directly with executives looking to either expand their operations or move to South Florida.\r\n\r\n“Companies want to feel confident in the environment they’re in and that there is a prospect for long-term growth,” says Jaap Donath, the Beacon Council’s senior vice president for research and strategic planning. The willingness of higher education leaders to talk about workforce needs and engage executives “helps make the case that you don’t have to go outside the area to grow your company.”\r\n\r\nFIU has embraced the challenge of getting graduates into meaningful work that moves the economy forward and relies on a variety of approaches to guarantee they can contribute what their employers need to stay competitive.\r\n\r\nFIU is one of 81 public doctoral-granting universities in the nation that has achieved the top Carnegie classification of “Highest Research Activity.” That ranking acknowledges research productivity and a quality of output commensurate with that of some of the oldest and most renowned institutions of higher education in the country. It means that FIU successfully competes with the best schools in the country for grants from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of  Transportation.\r\n\r\nSince 2015, FIU faculty have obtained more than 60 patents. The kind of heavy-duty research activity required to create new technology benefits not just students but the companies that hire them after graduation.\r\n\r\nAside from providing exciting, cutting- edge classroom instruction, professors involved in high-level research often invite students into the lab or on eld excursions. Once reserved exclusively for master’s and Ph.D. students, such opportunities are increasingly open to undergraduates — something that bodes well for tech and engineering industries that rely heavily on innovation.\r\n\r\nCastillo, the robotics systems engineer, agrees that his hands-on campus lab experience made him workforce ready. Interested in prosthetics-related projects being run by multi-patent holder Ranu Jung, who is the Wallace H. Coulter Eminent Scholar, a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors and chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Castillo asked if he could participate in the work.\r\n\r\n“She was more than willing to help me and allowed me into her lab,” Castillo recalls of what turned out to be a career-impacting move. “That early exposure helps me still with research and concept development. I also got exposure working on a team and presenting concepts and accepting feedback. All that was critical and really helped shape me as a young professional.”\r\n\r\nOriginal post by Alexandra Pecharich.

That was the reason for my extreme enthusiasm when I was offered to teach the “Design of Biomedical Devices and Systems” as well as “Senior Design Project Organization” courses almost seven years ago. These two courses heavily rely on my technical expertise and project management skills as well as challenging me to continuously improve my teaching skills along with direct student and industry interface. The fact that I expose the students to the real life situations that are current and up to date provides a unique opportunity for the them to gain valuable and relevant field experience. I also get great gratification from the feedback I receive from the faculty and students regarding the effectiveness of my teaching and how that has helped students in their young carriers. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share my experiences with the students and to help shape them into the next generation engineers.\r\n<h3>Industrial/Research Interests:</h3>\r\nMy interest is in the area of non-invasive or minimally invasive diagnostics or therapeutic devices or systems for treatment of diseases in the Vascular, Neuro or Skeletal systems.','Hamid Shahrestani','','inherit','closed','closed','','50203-revision-v1','','','2018-11-09 15:01:48','2018-11-09 20:01:48','',50203,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/11/50203-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);

My family moved to the United States for better educational opportunities, when I was 17. Right after finishing up high school, I decided to pursue biomedical engineering with applied mathematics minor at New Jersey Institute of Technology. My family’s transition to the United States and our struggles and hardships have constantly motivated me to do my best in school and pursue the passion I hold for the STEM field.\n\n<strong>Why did you decide to pursue a Ph.D.?</strong>\n\nI was very intrigued by the research I was doing in undergrad, which made me realize that this is something I would do even if I won’t get paid for. Throughout my undergrad career, I had great mentors who helped me envision my passion for research and mentoring. Mentoring others has helped me to gain a sense of satisfaction by making a difference in another person’s life. I learned from these experiences the significance of education and its lasting effect on a person’s life, which led me to pursue a Ph.D.\n\n<strong>Why did you choose FIU?</strong>\n\nFIU offered me a NSF Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship which covered my first two years of graduate school. This specific fellowship came with an outstanding support group, which was very important for me. I chose Dr. Sharan Ramaswamy as my mentor, who is an expert in the field of cell and engineered tissue mechanics with application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine.\n\n<strong>Are you the first in the family to purse a doctorate degree?</strong>\n\nI am actually the first generation to go to college so pursuing a Ph.D. is far beyond my parent’s vision.\n\n<strong>Are you part of any clubs or organizations at FIU?</strong>\n\nAt FIU, I’m part of the Graduate Student Advisory Board, which gives me freedom to sit on a board to bring the graduate student body’s concerns and plan activities, especially for the graduate student appreciation week. I am also a University Graduate School’s student representative where I represent the FIU graduate student body in front of incoming masters and Ph.D. students. Besides organization, FIU has given me opportunities to mentor high school seniors and high school teachers for the past two summers that I have been here.  It has been a rewarding experience for me to see them present their work at the end of the summer and embark their college careers at Ivy league schools.\n\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7445 alignright\" style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal;\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0039-768x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /><strong>Please explain your research.</strong>\n\nMy research is towards the understanding of valve endothelial cells mechanobiology for diseases such as aortic heart valve calcification. Specifically, I focus on understanding VEC signaling events based on a fluid – induced external mechanical stimulus. By understanding the ways cells sense and respond to mechanical forces leading to changes in the gene expression, new detect initiators of disease to restore tissue to normal condition can be developed.\n\n<strong>What are your post-graduation plans?</strong>\n\nMy life has been driven by two passions: research and women’s empowerment. My prime motivation to continue research is to make a significant difference within the field and find a better cure to cardiovascular diseases that affect billions of people around the globe. I want to be part of the solution, both as a scientist and as a woman leader who can help empower women to pursue higher education. After my Ph.D., I plan to pursue a post-doc position driven more toward genetic engineering with the cardiovascular interest and potentially have my own independent lab one day.<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>What is it like being a female in BME? Do you have any female mentors or role models that you look up to?</strong>\n\nBeing a female in engineering is quite intimidating. I am well aware of the painful lack of women in STEM fields, but it has not discouraged me because I also see first-hand evidence every day that being a woman has nothing to do with success. I know that while the road so far has been difficult, and I’ve worked harder than I ever have before, so does every other male engineering student. The world today is progressing towards breaking the stereotypes – be it men in nursing or women in engineering. I am absolutely blessed to have an incredible support group of male and female mentors, who have constantly pushed me to be the best version of myself. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Most importantly, my mother has been a phenomenal role model who always made sure that I had every opportunity in life to succeed not materially but spiritually. I’m forever grateful for her and everything she taught me and continues to teach me.\n\n<strong>Do you have any advice for young women in BME?</strong>\n\nBe persistent and consistent with your goals. Always ask yourself, what am I doing for others? It’s important to be there for one another and push each other. It took me quite a long time and many people to help me develop a voice. Now that I have it, I am not silent. Never doubt yourself. You are powerful and deserve every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your very own dreams.','Celebrating Women in BME with Graduate Student Sana Nasim','','inherit','closed','closed','','14879-autosave-v1','','','2018-11-13 13:39:11','2018-11-13 18:39:11','',14879,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/11/14879-autosave-v1',0,'revision','',0);

Always ask yourself, what am I doing for others? It’s important to be there for one another and push each other. It took me quite a long time and many people to help me develop a voice. Now that I have it, I am not silent. Never doubt yourself. You are powerful and deserve every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your very own dreams.','Celebrating Women in BME with Graduate Student Sana Nasim','','inherit','closed','closed','','14879-revision-v1','','','2018-11-13 13:45:00','2018-11-13 18:45:00','',14879,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/11/14879-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);
