Thomas Bifano
2026 REU and RET Projects: Coming Soon Dr. Thomas Bifano directs the Bifano Lab and the Boston University Photonics Center. His research focuses on modeling, design, production, and use of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) in optical instruments and photonic devices. He also works on biomedical imaging applications and microscopy. Previous REU/RET Projects include: Enhancing Cardiac Microbundle […]
David Bishop
In addition to a focus on low temperature physics, Dr. Bishop has a wide variety of research interests, including the study of cardiac tissue engineering, micro-electromechanical (MEMS) systems and nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), the Casimir Effect, superconductivity and superfluidity, nanotechnology, and feedforward control theory algorithms. Previous REU/RET Projects Include: Coupled Oscillator Simulations (2023) Chip-scale Magnetocardiography (REM […]
William Boley
2026 REU Project: Coming soon Professor William Boley leads the Additive Assembly Lab. Professor Boley’s research focuses on understanding and harnessing the relationships between materials synthesis, assembly process, and multi-scale architecture in additive manufacturing to create new functional materials and devices. To accomplish this, his research combines aspects of materials science, thermal fluid science, design, and […]
Ian Bouche

Scott Bunch
Dr. Bunch’s research efforts focus on the nano-mechanical properties of a new class of 2D, atomically thin materials such as graphene – single atomic layers of graphite, and their remarkable mechanical properties such as high strength, extreme flexibility, and unprecedented barrier properties. In researching these topics, Dr. Bunch then plans to fabricate and characterize nano-mechanical […]
Jerry Chen
Dr. Chen’s interest include studying the relationship between local circuits and long-range networks in the mammalian neocortex. By taking an integrative approach through combining large-scale in vivo imaging technology with molecular and genetic tools in the awake-behaving animal, he focuses on both long-range neocortical networks, and long-range cortical circuits during development. Previous REU/RET Projects include: […]
Christopher Chen
Dr. Christopher Chen is the principal investigator at the Tissue Microfabrication Lab. The lab’s projects include vascular, cardiac, and stem cell biology and engineering. Goals of the lab include building biomimetic tissues as experimental models and to direct tissue remodeling and regeneration through understanding how adhesive, mechanical and biochemical interactions drive cell and tissue function. Previous REU/RET Projects include: Developing Anchoring Methods to Generate and Mature […]
