Marie Tupaj
Marie C. Tupaj holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a doctorate in biomedical engineering from Tufts University. Following her undergraduate degree, she worked at Sun Microsystems on the design and verification of host-bridge application specific integrated circuits for mid-range server products. As a doctoral student, Marie worked on a project supported by the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine that identified and integrated biochemical, biophysical, and bioelectrical strategies into nerve guides for peripheral nerve repair and limb and digit salvage. As a postdoctoral fellow, Marie worked on a number of biomedical projects ranging from chemical modification of surfaces to building miniaturized biosensors. Marie’s research interests include neuroprosthetic device design and examining electric field effects on cells.
Marie has been an active member of the IEEE Boston section since 2011. Within the Boston section, she has worked on the steering committee of the Women in Engineering (WIE) affinity group. On this committee, Marie has held roles as treasurer and chair. Specifically, she has organized and led steering committee meetings, planned monthly technical and professional development meetings, and wrote proposals for group funding and award money. She has represented WIE Boston at local and regional conferences and is also a member of the IEEE Engineering Medicine & Biology Society.
