Among our faculty are 17 American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering fellows, four American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellows, four National Academy of Inventors fellows and members of the National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Medicine.

Texas BME offers financial support for most Ph.D. candidates designed to last the length of their degree, including a competitive stipend, paid tuition and health insurance. This support can be offered at admissions or after a candidate’s first or second semester.

Our students have access to premier lab facilities, research centers and equipment, including the most powerful academic supercomputer in the U.S. 

Many Texas BME professors are also faculty members in the Dell Medical School, one of the first medical schools in decades to be built from the ground up at a Tier 1 research university. We collaborate with physicians and DMS researchers in areas such as cancer, pediatrics, modeling and many others.

Austin is consistently ranked as one of the best cities to live in. We boast a sunny, temperate climate year-round, a robust music, arts and culture scene, natural beauty built directly into the city, and a welcoming, open-minded spirit. As a major technology hub with a thriving economy and job market, what starts here changes the world.
