Mary-Ann Mycek is an American physicist and professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. She develops optical approaches for diagnostics and monitoring that she translates out of the laboratory and into the clinic. She is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and SPIE.

Early life and education
editMyeck has loved puzzles and mathematics since she was a child. She was an undergraduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology.[1][2] She was a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research studied the ultrafast dynamics of correlated excitons in GaAs quantum wells.[3] She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Research and career
editMyeck joined Dartmouth College as an Assistant Professor 1998. She remained there for five years, before joining the University of Michigan as an associate professor. She was made Associate Department Chair as head of the Graduate Program and then head of Translational Research. In 2012 she was made Professor, and eventually she was made Associate Dean for Graduate Education.
Her research uses a "bench-to-bedside" approach to translate optical science to clinical contexts.[4]
In 2021 she was made Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering.[4] She has driven strategy to support engineers from historically excluded groups find positions in academia. Myeck has developed a reporting and communication framework for Michigan Engineering, and launched a hub for engineering student wellness.
