Bio-Electrical Engineering combines electronic and photonic engineering with biological and medical applications. Contemporary biomedical research depends heavily on advanced technologies to enhance our comprehension of intricate biological systems and to boost healthcare results. At Lehigh, bioelectrical engineering involves creating clinical diagnostic and therapeutic tools, specialized sensors, and applying engineering concepts to biological investigations. Faculty in this field explore areas like biological micro-electromechanical systems (bio-MEMS), where living cells and tissues are integrated into microscale devices to examine cognitive processes, cellular mechanics, or applications in biosensing and pharmaceutical testing. Another focus is employing optical coherence tomography (OCT) for non-invasive imaging of hemoglobin levels, blood oxygenation, water and lipid distribution, and brain and cancer hemodynamics. Researchers are also designing surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensors using metal nanostructures for highly sensitive, real-time, and multiplexed biomolecule detection without labels. The bioelectrical engineering team collaborates across disciplines with experts in mechanical engineering, materials science, chemical engineering, bioengineering, and physics within the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science and the College of Arts and Sciences.

Qualification Requirements
Transcripts: Must be uploaded to application. If admitted, official transcripts are required. All transcripts should be converted to the American 4.0 grade point average (GPA) Scale, if possible.
Letters of Recommendation: 2 letters of recommendation are required. If you are currently in school, letters from academic advisors and other professors are preferred. If you are currently in industry, letters from employers are acceptable. Recommendation letters can be submitted through the on-line application tool.
Test scores: official test scores sent from ETS. TOEFL or IELTS scores (required for all international students) expire after 2 years and expired scores WILL NOT be accepted. GRE test scores (required for all students) expire after 5 years.
Essay: a brief statement of career and research objectives. Essays should clearly articulate your experience and goals. Half a page to two pages is sufficient.
Supplemental Information: applicants should also include a resume or CV, current research or creative work, list of published works, and extracurricular activities.
