About this position
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is seeking one or two highly motivated PhD students to join the Experimental Biofluids Lab, led by Assistant Professor Zhongwang Dou. The positions are available for Fall 2026 and are supported by an NSF-funded project. Research areas include cardiovascular biofluids (such as aneurysm hemodynamics and flow-structure interaction in heart valves) and biomedical devices (including catheters, thrombectomy devices, TAVR, and sensors). Another focus is on measurement instrumentation, such as particle image velocimetry, ultrasound imaging, and tomographic imaging, as well as the development of novel flow apparatus and measurement systems.
The lab is interdisciplinary, affiliated with both the Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering departments. Students will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research in biofluids, biomedical devices, and measurement systems, with hands-on experience in prototyping and system implementation. The program emphasizes rigorous research, academic integrity, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities and deadlines. Applicants should have a strong interest in biofluids and biomedical engineering, demonstrated research abilities, and preferably hands-on experience in prototyping or measurement systems.
Funding is provided through an NSF grant, which typically covers tuition and provides a stipend, though specific amounts are not detailed in the announcement. The application deadline is December 28, 2025, for Fall 2026 entry. For more information, candidates are encouraged to review the RIT Biomedical and Chemical Engineering Ph.D. program requirements and contact Dr. Zhongwang Dou at [email protected]. Additional information about the lab and RIT can be found on the university's website and the Experimental Biofluids Lab page.
