Bio

Dr. Jennifer Bailey completed a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and a B.S. in Chemistry from Purdue University before continuing for a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University. Dr. Bailey’s graduate work was focused in tissue engineering. She worked on enhancing naturally derived three-dimensional, purified collagen matrices for both research and medical applications. Dr. Bailey utilized the natural occurring crosslinks within collagen to control mechanical properties separately from collagen concentration. Her work resulted in two publications and two patents.

Following graduate school, Dr. Bailey was an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Indiana. At USI, she taught courses that introduced freshmen to engineering problems and computational tools. She moved to Urbana, IL and taught at the University of Illinois in Bioengineering. At U of I, Dr. Bailey focused on developing and teaching lab courses in Cell and Tissue Engineering and Quantitative Physiology as well as teaching a course in Biomechanics. She was active in STEM outreach and undergraduate advising. Dr. Bailey joined RIT in January 2014 as a Lecturer to develop and teach the lab courses in Biomedical Engineering.

Currently Teaching

BIME-181
1 Credits
This course will provide an overview of the discipline. It will consist of the following components: 1) Overview of the discipline. 2) Introduction of an engineering design methodology applicable to biomedical problems. 3) Opportunity to address a simple biomedical engineering-related problem that requires formulating a problem statement, conducting research, proposing a solution, preparing a summary report, and presenting results. 4) Introduction to team dynamics, organization and interpersonal communication associated with working with a multidisciplinary team.
BIME-391
2 Credits
Laboratory experiments are conducted to explore and reinforce fundamental principles and concepts introduced in BIME-200 (Introduction to Musculoskeletal Biomechanics) and BIME-370 (Introduction to Biomaterial Science). The experimental procedures involve measuring results, analyzing and interpreting data and drawing objective conclusions. Emphasis is also placed on proper documentation and effective presentation of findings and results. Lab procedures involve manipulation and measurements of anatomical structures and samples as well as equipment and materials designed to simulate naturally occurring tissues and structures.
BIME-491
1 Credits
Laboratory experiments are conducted to explore and reinforce fundamental principles and concepts introduced in BIME-410 (Systems Physiology I) and BIME-440 (Biomedical Signals and Analysis). The experimental procedures involve measuring results, analyzing and interpreting data and drawing objective conclusions. Emphasis is also placed on proper documentation and effective presentation of findings and results. Laboratory experiments will be conducted to investigate pressure, volume and flow relationships of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems including the inherent variability and dynamic response to perturbations. Signal processing methods will be utilized to address ubiquitous artifacts found in measured physiological signals.
BIME-499
0 Credits
One semester of paid work experience in biomedical engineering.
BIME-799
1 - 3 Credits
Allows graduate students an opportunity to independently investigate, under faculty supervision, aspects of the field of biomedical engineering that are not sufficiently covered in existing courses. Proposals for independent study activities must be approved by both the faculty member supervising and the graduate program director.
EGEN-359
1 Credits
This course introduces engineering students to the research, theories, and applications of engineering and discipline-based educational research. Class activities will support students as they translate research into practice within the classroom. The course covers topics important for facilitating individual, cooperative, and team-based learning. Final projects will allow students to propose a discipline specific entrepreneurial-minded learning activity appropriate for the topics in the class they support.
