Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NPROF) but presently it is not clear that it does. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. Please note that some of the references would appear to be from sources that are NOT considered reliable for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, speaking agencies, press releases, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify etc). Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NPROF criteria #3, because XXXXX"). Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere. Cabrils (talk) 03:53, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Joseph L. Bull is an American biomedical engineer and academic administrator. He is the H. Chik M. Erzurumlu Dean of the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University (PSU).[1] An enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, he is the first Native American to serve as a dean of engineering in the United States.[2] Bull is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).[3]
Early life and education
[edit]Bull is an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians and is a first-generation college graduate.[2][4] He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University.[1]
Career
[edit]From 2001 to 2016, Bull was a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan.[1] He later joined Tulane University, where he held the John and Elsie Martinez Biomedical Engineering Chair and served as associate dean for research in the School of Science and Engineering.[5]
In August 2022, Bull was appointed dean of the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University, becoming the first Native American engineering dean in the country.[2][1] At PSU, he has led initiatives to increase diversity in STEM fields and build industry partnerships. In 2024, the university received a $250,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to create pathways for Indigenous students into STEM doctoral programs.[4] In 2023, the college secured a $1.3 million partnership with Daimler Truck North America to establish faculty positions focused on vehicle electrification.[6]
Research
[edit]Bull's research focuses on ultrasound and biofluid mechanics, particularly in cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. His work involves gas embolotherapy for cancer treatment and acoustic droplet vaporization for medical imaging.[1] According to Google Scholar, his publications have been cited over 3,400 times, and he has an h-index of 34.[7]
Advocacy and service
[edit]Bull advocates for integrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge into engineering to address global challenges like climate change, stating that it represents "a vital missing ingredient."[2] He serves on the advisory board of Oregon MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) and is on the board of directors of Underscore Native News.[4][8]
