Savannah Duenweg ’20, Ph.D. never imagined that one day her work would help shape the future of prostate cancer treatment.

After graduating from MSOE with a degree in biomedical engineering, Duenweg went on to complete her Ph.D. in Biophysics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Her research focused on using MRI data, digital pathology and machine learning to improve prostate cancer detection and risk assessment. Now Duenweg continues her work as a research scientist in the same radiology laboratory where she completed her Ph.D. at the forefront of medical imaging and artificial intelligence.

Congratulations to Dr. Brian Faulkner who was named a 2026 Campus Rising Star. Presented by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), the award recognizes faculty members with fewer than 10 years of experience who exemplify the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering education.

Faulkner is an author of an upcoming electric circuits textbook designed to break from traditional engineering education models. Rather than relying on abstract or contrived examples, every homework problem is tied to authentic applications and real-world data.
