Jon Erickson

Jon Erickson is a Professor of Engineering at Washington and Lee University (W&L) specializing in biomedical engineering and gastrointestinal motility research. He leads an international research consortium funded by a five-year grant from the Health Research Council of New Zealand through the Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI) at the University of Auckland, focusing on non-invasive gastric mapping techniques and clinical translation of biomedical sensors for colon disorders.

• Affiliation: Department of Engineering, College of Engineering, Washington and Lee University
• Research Focus: Development of diagnostic tools for gastrointestinal disorders using signal processing and bioengineering

Education:

• Bachelor of Science in Physics from Harvey Mudd College
• Master of Science in Aeronautics from California Institute of Technology
• Ph.D. in Bioengineering from California Institute of Technology

Scientific Recognition:

• Recipient of the Health Research Council of New Zealand grant for gastrointestinal motility research
• Awarded the Lenfest Summer Research Grant for student-supported research initiatives

His work bridges engineering and medical research, involving students through W&L's Summer Research Scholars program and Faculty Sabbatical Leave program, with plans to establish engineering capstone projects for continued student engagement in clinical applications.
