Recent Announcements
Biomedical engineering faculty awarded grants
Drs. Scott Beardsley, Robert Scheidt and Brian Schmit recently received federal funding of nearly $3 million for their research proposals.
Dr. Beardsley is a co-PI (Principal Investigator) for a two-year, $916,533 R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health for “Perception and Recovery of Motion for Visually Guided Behavior in Humans.”
Dr. Scheidt received a two-year, $844,600 NIH grant for “Functional Remapping of Hand Control,” which will examine how the brain learns to reorganize coordination of the hand when required to learn a novel object manipulation task.
Dr. Schmidt earned two new awards. A two-year, $772,692 NIH grant, “Reflex Regulation of Motor Function in Human SCI,” will examine how people with spinal cord injury control the movement of their legs after they receive different types of medications. “Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Spinal Cord Injury” is a three-year, $450,000 grant from the Department of Veteran’s Affairs to develop and test new ways of imaging the spinal cord after an injury in order to predict recovery and the response to treatments.
Engineering freshman received scholarship from SWE Christine Matheney of Castro Valley, Calif. Is one of five female freshmen engineering students nationwide granted a $1500 Admiral Grace Murray Hopper Scholarship from the Society of Women Engineers.

Dean's search Check out the position description at www.marquette.edu/opusdean. Then, feel free to forward the link to anyone whom you think might be qualified for and interested in the deanship. As Marquette Provost John Pauly has said, “Experts in leadership searches believe firmly that the great majority of successful placements come through a personal network, not advertisements. There’s no substitute for a colleague or friend reaching out to someone in their personal or professional network, making them aware of our special opportunities. The outcomes of these searches are critical and will allow us to build on the results of Marquette’s successful leadership placements in recent years.”
The search committee is chaired by Dr. Kyuil Kim, chair of mechanical engineering. A national firm, Baker and Associates, LLC, is assisting in the search. Ads are being placed with the Chronicle of Higher Education (both on-line and print), the American Society for Engineering Education, the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, and AcademicKeys.com.
