PhD Admissions Committees

To ensure that your application is reviewed by those who can best evaluate your research contributions and potential, please review the information below and choose your research area and faculty of interest carefully before submitting your application.

The PhD admissions process is led by committees based on the program’s seven core research areas. Each application is reviewed by one or more admissions committees based on the core research area and potential faculty mentors that you choose in the BME Additional Information section of the online application.

Please review the descriptions on the page below to help you learn what research in each of our core areas looks like at Hopkins BME, and to identify potential faculty mentors by area. The faculty listed below are participating members of the admissions committees. Please note that these committee members are subject to change; participating members may vary from year-to-year, and participation on the committee does not guarantee that a faculty member will be accepting students during the current admissions cycle. We strongly suggest that you contact any faculty of interest in advance to confirm whether they are seeking new students this year and to discuss whether their research is a good fit for your interests and goals.

Before completing your application, please review the committees below to find faculty who you would be interested in working with for your thesis research. Be sure to indicate these faculty and the corresponding research areas on your application in the BME Additional Information section. The faculty you indicate here will likely be the first to review your application, so please choose faculty whose current research aligns with your interests and goals for graduate school. The research areas that you choose should align with your faculty of interest to ensure that your application will be reviewed by the most appropriate committee.
