Objectives

After the course you know the main research and application areas of biomedical engineering. You understand the biophysical theories, basic data processing, analysis and modeling methods related to the human anatomy and physiological function and know how these methods are applied to develop medical devices and biomaterials. You have also learned at least the basics in biomaterials.
