Research Opportunities for Undergraduate Students
We have two research opportunities for undergraduate students from UPR, Mayaguez in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University
Purdue Summer SURF Program –
This first program is primarily for students who are new to research. SURF offers students an excellent opportunity to hone research skills and to experience life as a graduate student. SURF matches undergraduates with a faculty member and graduate student mentor who introduce them to the research tools used on the cutting edges of biomedical engineering, and medical device technology. To get more information see the website here:

Student interested in working with professors in Biomedical Engineering should apply to SURF and indicate which BME faculty labs listed on the SURF site are their choices.
Additional faculty labs can be found at the following webpage and if students are interested in any of these faculty they should contact them directly by email.
