STEM Lyceums: Biomedical Engineering
The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) offered high school students a cost-free opportunity to learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, from 4:00-5:15 p.m. ET by attending the webinar on the theme of Biomedical Engineering.
The guest speaker is:
Jason L. Koh, MD, MBA, FAAOS, FAOA (RSI ’85) is the Mark R. Neaman Family Chair of Orthopaedic Surgery and Director, Orthopaedic & Spine Institute, NorthShore University HealthSystem; Clinical Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery, The University of Chicago; and Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Northwestern University. He is President of the Harvard Club of Chicago. Dr. Koh received his MD from Johns Hopkins, followed by internship at the Massachusetts General Hospital, residency at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. He earned an MBA from the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management, with coursework at Harvard Business School.
Erinn Grigsby, PhD, is Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pittsburgh. She earned BS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering and Electrical, a BS in Computer Engineering, and an MS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering from Duke University. Dr. Grigsby received her doctorate in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Her doctoral research focused on using brain-computer interface to study how the time course of population neural activity evolves so that we can smoothly and effectively interact with the world.
This virtual event is part of CEE’s STEM Lyceums, a series of monthly virtual meetings that engage high school students in discussion and exploration of STEM concepts and unique STEM career pathways, provided at no cost to schools or students. Students interact with STEM professionals and fellow students, both national and international. Meetings foster critical thinking skills, encourage excitement for science, and prepare students to enter STEM careers. CEE’s STEM Lyceums partners include Virginia Bio, United Negro College Fund, and the Urban League of Hampton Roads. For more information, visit https://www.cee.org/programs/stem-lyceums.
The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded in 1983 by the late Admiral H.G. Rickover and Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center. The Center’s mission is to nurture high school and university scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and to encourage collaboration between and among scientific and technological leaders in the global community. CEE sponsors the Research Science Institute (RSI), USA Biolympiad (USABO), Teacher Enrichment Program (TEP), and STEM Lyceums. CEE programs are provided cost-free to participating students and teachers, thereby leveling the playing field for economically disadvantaged students. The Center’s nonprofit mission is supported by corporations, foundations, individuals, and government agencies. For more information, visit https://www.cee.org
