WHO WE ARE

Our mission

The Biomedical Engineering Research Laboratory at the University of Costa Rica (LIIB) is a space meant for research, analysis and development of applications related to photoacoustics, ultrasound, biomedical optics and instrumentation for medical diagnosis and therapy. Currently the laboratory is directed by the PhD. Diego Dumani Jarquín and research is carried out in areas of medical engineering, in  search for innovation and optimization of instruments that provide understanding of biological, physical and chemical processes.

Our research field

Biomedical engineering is divided into a large number of research fields, which encourages a constant emergence of new findings and development of novel applications.
Currently, in the lab, research is mainly being carried out in three major areas:
  • Ultrasound and photoacustic imaging.
  • Biomedical optics.
  • Other streams, such as nanomedicine and biomaterials.

Electrical Engineering School

The laboratory is currently located on the fourth floor of the School of Electrical Engineering (EIE) at the University of Costa Rica.

The School of Electrical Engineering encompasses, both in teaching and research, a large number of study streams, such as control systems, image processing, electronics, embedded systems, among others. This is presented as an opportunity for collaborative work between various academic branches; in addition to the contribution of other schools and faculties of the university.
