Texas A&M University College of Engineering

Oscar Benavides

Oscar Benavides is a Ph.D. student in the Biomedical Engineering Department. He graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2018 with a B.E. in Biomedical Engineering where his undergraduate research focused on the development of optical imaging systems for small animal retinal imaging using multimodal optical coherence tomography and fluroescence confocal scanning laser opthalmoscopy. His current research is on the development of optical imaging systems for high-throughput volumetric screening of stem cells loaded onto microparticles.
