Undergraduate Courses

BioE102: Introductory Biomechanics


This (junior level undergraduate) course develops and applies the methods of continuum mechanics to biomechanical phenomena over a range of length scales, from cell to tissue and organ levels.



BioE104: Biological Transport Phenomena


This course develops and applies scaling laws and the methods of continuum mechanics to biological transport phenomena over a range of length and time scales. It is intended for undergraduate students who have taken a course in differential equations, and an introductory course in physics. Preliminary understanding of biology and physiology is useful but not assumed. Example application areas include biomolecular transport in biological tissues, living organs, and in biomedical microdevices.




BioE112: Molecular Cell Biomechanics


This (senior level undergraduate) course develops and applies scaling laws and the methods of continuum and statistical mechanics to biomechanical phenomena over a range of length scales, from molecular to cellular levels.
Graduate Courses

BioE215: Models of Cell Mechanics: Dynamics of the Cytoskeleton and Nucleus


This (graduate) course brings together various viewpoints and modeling and measurement approaches in the study of cytoskeletal and nuclear mechanics and dynamics.
