Congratulations to our BME graduates on being recognized at the annual Widener University School of Engineering Awards Ceremony, held Friday, April 17th at The Springhaven Club in PA 🎉👏.

We are proud to highlight our outstanding senior design team, Kayleigh Armstrong, Yamen Jlilati, Akem Kpuyuf, and Victoria Rebelo, from Widener Biomedical Engineering 👏. Working with Dr. Tiari, their project, “Design and Prototype of a Smart Prosthetic Sleeve for Temperature Control for Lower Limb Amputees,” focuses on improving comfort and quality of life by addressing thermal regulation challenges commonly experienced by prosthetic users.

With support from ASME Philadelphia Section, they presented at the annual student project competition and took home:
🏆 Best Overall Presentation
🏆 Best Oral Presentation

Congratulations and we are excited to see what’s next for each of you! 🚀

Widener BME faculty and students had the opportunity to attend and present at the Northeast Bioengineering Conference (NEBEC 2026) at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. It was an exciting experience to share our projects and connect with bioengineering leaders and fellow students 💙❤️.

Huge congratulations 🎉 to all our BME seniors for successfully completing your Senior Capstone Design Projects! Your hard work, innovation, and dedication have truly paid off 👏.

Congratulations and wish you continued success as you complete the academic year and prepare for the next chapter 🌟.

Our senior BME students, Kayleigh Armstrong, Yamen Jlilati, and Victoria Rebelo, attended the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Middle-Atlantic Conference at the University of Delaware on Saturday, March 28, 2026. 👏

The team presented their senior design project, “Designing and Prototyping a Smart Prosthetic Sleeve for Temperature Control,” developed under the supervision of Dr. Saeed Tiari. Their work focuses on improving comfort and usability for prosthetic users through innovative thermal management solutions.

Congratulations to the team on this accomplishment, we are proud of you!✨

BME students 📢 Mark your calendars for our final social of the semester! Join us as we celebrate our seniors and chat about exciting plans for the fall semester 🎓✨

Two weeks ago, the BME department hosted a BMES Networking Night! The event brought together BME students and alumni, members of our Industrial Advisory Group, faculty, and local professionals for an evening of meaningful conversation and connection ✨.

Last Friday, Widener BME faculty, students, and staff visited CQ Medical in Avondale, PA. It was a great opportunity to learn about their patient positioning and immobilization technology for radiation therapy and hear from Widener alumni about how these products are designed and manufactured.
