Sundararajan Madihally is an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University. He received his B.E. in Chemical Engineering from Bangalore University and worked as a consultant to pharmaceutical companies. He received a Ph.D. from Wayne State University in Chemical Engineering on the development of bioreactors for umbilical cord stem cells. He held a research fellow position at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and Shriners Hospital for Children and worked on burn trauma induced systemic alterations and therapeutic development. As a visiting assistant professor in 2001, he co-taught a new course in the department of biomedical engineering at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He developed a new biomedical engineering course at Oklahoma State University suitable for engineering students. His honors include best teacher award from the chemical engineering students, young teacher award from the college of engineering, and outstanding advisor award from the Oklahoma State University president, and outstanding poster award from the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). He was the program chair for the ASEE chemical engineering division annual conference. He has been a member of the international editorial board of Biomaterials Journal and few open access journals.

Describing the role of engineering in medicine today, this textbook covers a wide range of topics in biomedical engineering. Supported with over 145 illustrations, the book discusses bioelectrical systems, mechanical analysis of biological tissues and organs, biomaterial selection, compartmental modeling, and biomedical instrumentation. Students and professionals find a thorough treatment of the concept of using living cells in various therapeutics and diagnostics. Structured as a complete text for courses on the subject, the book also makes a references for professionals new to the bioengineering field. Uniqueness of the textbook is a large number of example problems and exercise problems that students can practice on.
