The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, and CBB researchers are visiting Paris this week to further build relationships to help solve global health engineering problems.  À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, with its strength in engineering and applied health is well positioned for the upcoming rapid growth of heath care technologies, data management and analytics. 

The CBB led delegation includes:

  • Catherine Burns, Systems Design Engineering - specializes in clinical and patient oriented health information systems.
  • Trevor Charles, Biology - specializes in bacterial molecular genetics, synthetic biology and bioproducts.
  • Alfred Yu, Electrical and Computer Engineering - specializes in ultrasound imaging innovations and therapeutic ultrasound discoveries.
  • Maud Gorbet - Systems Design Engineering - Director of the Biomedical Engineering program at UW with research expertise of biocompatibility with biomaterials and biomedical devices.
  • Safieddin Safavi-Naeini, Electrical and Computer Engineering - with research expertise in sensors, mobile health, biomedical instrumentation technologies.
  • Sivabal Sivaloganathan, Applied Mathematics - specializes in the field of biomechanics and the development of mathematical models of clinical conditions and diseases using continuum mechanics.
  • Xianguo Li, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering - specializes in green energy systems, modeling and energy policy/planning. 
  • Bruce Muirhead, Associate Vice-President, External Research, and History Professor, with research in the development of international trade and economic relationships, diplomacy, and policies.
  • Christine McWebb, Director Academic Programs, Stratford Campus with research interest in how new technologies and new media impact traditional humanities disciplines, human interaction, society, and communication.
