Biomedical computation within Biomedical Engineering encompasses three key elements:
Visual data processing and pattern recognition
Database and knowledge system administration
Rapid distributed processing of extensive datasets
These elements will collaborate while delivering foundational technologies for examining and leveraging data from biomedical applications. Biomedical systems frequently produce data as signals (symbolic sequences and waveforms), visual representations, and multidimensional vector arrays.

Biophotonics and nanoscale systems research necessitates developing computational models for the physical phenomena underlying data generation. UCI's computational modeling research incorporates techniques using cubic and generalized spline approximations. Parallel to this modeling research is UCI's emphasis on pattern recognition, aiming to create specialized algorithms for detecting and deciphering intricate data patterns.

Nearly all biocomputational approaches require handling and examining vast data quantities. The resulting information must be systematically monitored over time. This scientific data necessitates robust, intelligent database systems. Current and upcoming research domains encompass sophisticated data structuring, knowledge organization, information extraction, query refinement, and concurrent transaction processing.

Qualification Requirements

Applicant must have a bachelor's degree in an engineering, physical science, or biological science discipline, with a grade point average of 3.20 or higher in their upper-division course work. The minimum course work requirements for admission are six quarters of calculus through linear algebra and ordinary differential equations, three quarters of calculus-based physics, three quarters of chemistry, and two quarters of biology. Students without a physics, chemistry, or engineering undergraduate degree may be required to take additional relevant undergraduate engineering courses during their first year in the program, any such requirements will be specifically determined by the BME Graduate Committee on a case-by-case basis and will be made known to the applicant at the time of acceptance to the program.

The recommended minimum combined verbal and quantitative portion of the GRE is 310, or a minimum combined MCAT score in Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences, and Biological Sciences problems of 508. A minimum score of 94 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT) is recommended of all international students whose native language is not English. In addition, all applicants must submit three letters of recommendation.
