Paul J Benkeser

Professor Benkeser's early research interests were in the areas of therapeutic and diagnostic application of ultrasound.  After joining the Coulter Department, his energies were redirected towards enhancing undergraduate biomedical engineering education, with particular interests in integrating problem-driven learning and global experiential learning opportunities into the BME curriculum.

Teaching Interests

Professor Benkeser has extensive experience teaching biomedical imaging and instrumentation at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. More recently, his teaching has focused on using problem-driven learning to introduce first- and second-year undergraduate students to the biomedical engineering design process as framed by FDA design controls, including identification of user needs, development of design inputs and design outputs, design verification and validation, and risk analysis within realistic healthcare contexts.
