Prof’s fund supports student curiosity and ambition

Monday, May 12, 2025

ݮƵ Engineering professor Dr. Maud Gorbet has established a fund to provide biomedical engineering (BME) undergraduate students with learning opportunities outside the classroom.

The fund will help support the student-led Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), the annual BioTEC conference and undergraduate students’ travel costs to present their research at conferences.

Gorbet established the fund to ensure that the Faculty’s BME community offers students rich learning experiences that help them develop their skills and explore new ideas for greater impact.

“The fund is investing in people and ideas,” Gorbet said. “It’s about creating opportunities that help students discover the kind of biomedical engineer they want to be.”

Gorbet sees the fund as a vehicle for igniting and supporting student experience and ambition, delivering long-term impact well into the future.
