Marissa Lynne Gray serves as an Assistant Professor (Research) in Brown University's School of Engineering and directs the Biomedical Engineering Master's Program. She joined Brown in January 2019 after serving as Teaching Assistant Professor and Associate Chair of Graduate Programs at Stevens Institute of Technology, bringing expertise in clinical engineering and wearable sensor systems.
Her educational background includes a PhD (2014) and ME (2011) in Biomedical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, and a BS in Biomedical Engineering with Electrical and Computer Engineering minor from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (2009).
Dr. Gray's research bridges electrical engineering principles with clinical applications through wearable sensor technology. Her work spans military-funded projects like dry EEG electrode headsets for the Army Research Laboratory and smart flotation devices for U.S. Special Operations Command, to current cancer care applications monitoring anxiety through physiological sensors. She emphasizes translational engineering solutions for real-world healthcare challenges.
Recent publications (2022-2025) reveal dual research trajectories: advancing biomedical engineering education through curriculum innovation and industry partnerships, while developing wearable sensor applications for mental health monitoring in clinical populations. Her work consistently connects pedagogical development with practical clinical implementations.
Her research has secured Department of Defense funding for military medical technology development. As Director of the Biomedical Engineering Master's Program, she shapes graduate curriculum and oversees student training in engineering design and innovation.
Dr. Gray maintains active collaborations across Brown's ecosystem, particularly with Radiation Oncology, Computer Science, and Psychiatry departments, leveraging interdisciplinary approaches to advance wearable sensor applications in clinical settings.
