Over the past three decades, Mike Kassam has been deeply involved in the design and development of numerous medical devices, specializing in non-invasive medical diagnostic and monitoring techniques and integrated biomedical sensors and transducers. He was first introduced to this specialty during his fourth-year capstone project, when a professor recruited him to help develop an automated portable blood pressure measuring system, a device that was almost non-existent at the time. Although Kassam initially struggled to overcome the design challenges, he eventually developed a successful working prototype 鈥� an experience that 鈥減aved my pathway,鈥� he says.

Kassam鈥檚 undergraduate studies also inspired his passion for teaching. 鈥淭wo professors changed my life,鈥� says Kassam. 鈥淭hey taught in a way where you could feel the passion. Looking back at my career, the areas I am most interested in are directly related to what they taught.鈥� Now as a professor, Kassam tries to emulate his former professors鈥� style. He routinely evolves his courses and readily adapts his lectures on the fly to keep students engaged. 鈥淚 always want my students to be hungry to learn and striving for excellence,鈥� says Kassam.
