Members of the Biomechanics and Biomimetics Seedbed shared their scientific work experiences with biomedical engineering students. The meeting allowed young people to learn more about this field of study, thereby giving greater impetus to research work in this new academic program offered by the UIS in Floridablanca.
“The field of biomechanics is multidisciplinary. We work with orthopedic doctors and physical therapists, seeking to bring engineering to the field of health. This has a major impact, especially in biomedical engineering, because it combines this multidisciplinary work,” said Professor Diego Fernando Villegas of the UIS School of Mechanical Engineering.
During this visit to the Floridablanca campus, the researchers presented some projects related to the development of technology applied to the design of biomedical devices and equipment. The event allowed students to learn about new opportunities to strengthen their professional training through research and innovation.

“We believe that they have a bright future in what we are doing, and we are sure that they can contribute their knowledge and insights to our research. Without a doubt, they are a great asset to us,” said Germán Romero Suárez, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering and member of the seedbed.
For his part, biomedical engineering student Juan Sebastián Botía highlighted the researchers’ visit and the direct relationship between their work and the field of health. “The experiences have been very interesting, and we believe that the research group offers topics of study for developing technology and generating job opportunities for our near future,” he said.
Interested students can join the Biomechanics and Biomimetics Research Group starting in the first semester. In-person meetings are held on Thursdays in Room 317 of the Mechanical Engineering School Laboratory Building, located on the university’s central campus.
