Professor Nikkhah\u00a0has developed and taught the following courses:<\/span><\/p>\n

BME 340, “<\/span>Thermodynamics for Biomedical\u00a0Engineering”, Undergraduate Level,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring 2022, Spring 2021, Spring 2020, Spring 2019, Spring 2018, Spring\u00a02017, Spring 2016,\u00a0Spring 2015<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

BME 342 focuses on application of conservation and accounting principles with non-ideal property estimation techniques model phase and chemical equilibrium processes. By the end of this course the students are able to: 1)\u00a0List the fundamental thermodynamic “Laws” and explain their relationship to conservation and accounting principles; 2)\u00a0Explain the interrelationships among thermodynamic properties; 3)\u00a0Find the many forms of thermodynamic data (tables, graphs, equations of state) and use them to find pressure, volume, or temperature, or vice-versa; 4)\u00a0Use thermodynamic relationships and thermodynamic data to estimate pure species properties; 5)\u00a0Use the fundamental relation of phase equilibrium to estimate condensed phase properties from gas phase properties and vice-versa; 6)\u00a0Calculate mixed species, mixed phase equilibrium thermodynamic properties; 7)\u00a0Solve reaction equilibrium problems.<\/p>\n

BME<\/strong><\/span> 598, “Biomedical Microdevices”, Graduate Level, <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spring 2023, Spring 2022, Spring 2021, Spring 2020, Spring 2019, Spring 2018, Spring 2017, Spring 2016, Spring 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Biomedical Microdevices” is an\u00a0interdisciplinary senior and graduate level course, which introduces the students to the design and development of miniaturized systems for a wide range of biomedical applications from medical diagnostics to drug discovery and regenerative medicine. The main focus is to understand the fundamentals and basic concepts underlying the use of micro- and nanofabrication technologies in the fields of biology and medicine (BioMEMS). This course will cover the following topics: 1) Scaling laws, 2) Fundamentals of microfabrication techniques including photolithography and soft lithography, 3) A brief overview on cellular structure and cytoskeleton, 4) Fundamentals of microfluidics design and lab-on-chip systems, 5) Recent advances in designing microscale diagnostics and organ-on-chip devices, 6) A brief overview on the use of microscale technologies in the field of tissue engineering. The course is highly interactive, emphasizing teamwork, student presentation and class discussion.<\/p>\n

Fall 2023, Fall 2022, Spring 2014, Fall 2014<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ASU 101-BME has been created to help students to be successful at ASU and as a biomedical engineer. The course is a required, semester long, one-credit course offered in sections capped at 19, designed to introduce all new first-time students to the unique elements, culture, challenges, and opportunities of biomedical engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, and the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering.<\/p>\n
