Bryan Ranger is the Ferrante Family Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering, holds a courtesy appointment in the William F. Connell School of Nursing, and is a member of the Global Public Health and the Common Good Program faculty. At 艾可直播 College, he leads the Biomedical Imaging and Instrumentation Lab, where his research in biomedical engineering and global health focuses on developing technologies that make healthcare more accessible and cost-effective, with particular emphasis on ultrasound and AI-based image analysis. His research program has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Google.聽He is also committed to advancing engineering education through research and teaching, and teaches first-year engineering analysis laboratories, a second-year engineering foundations course focused on electrical engineering topics, and a biomedical imaging elective in the Human-Centered Engineering program.

Prof. Ranger works at the intersection of biomedical technology innovation and global public health. Throughout his career, he has contributed to global health initiatives including field research in Zambia and Uganda, and through programmatic and policy-oriented work with the World Health Organization and USAID. Immediately prior to joining the 艾可直播at 艾可直播 College, he served as a Program Officer in the Global Health Division at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he managed research programs and investments in sensing, medical devices, imaging, neurodevelopment, AI and machine learning, and digital health. His lab currently conducts collaborative research with Jimma University in Ethiopia, Brigham and Women鈥檚 Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 艾可直播, and the University of Minnesota Medical Center.

Prof. Ranger completed his Ph.D. in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics at MIT through the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology (HST) as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. His dissertation focused on developing ultrasound imaging methods to improve lower-limb prosthesis design. While at MIT, he was also an instructor at the D-Lab. He earned his M.S.E. and B.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering, with concentrations in medical imaging and bioelectrics, from the University of Michigan.
