AIMBE Fellow Induction
An ARI professor has been elected a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
Yue Wang, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, has become a member of the AIMBE for contributions to biomedical informatics.
“I feel very happy, yet surprised to receive such a distinct honor that signifies recognition of my contributions to the field,” Wang said. “I have always been interested in biomedical engineering and science.”
The induction into the College of Fellows took place at the end of February 2004 in the
main auditorium of the National Academy of Sciences.
Duties as an AIMBE include active involvement with critical issues affecting medical and biological engineering.
AIMBE's principal activities include participation in the formulation of public policy; the dissemination of information, both to the public and scientific community, through publications and forums; and education.
