Professor Amarda Shehu of the College of Engineering and Computing’s Department of Computer Science has been named a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows “for pioneering contributions to computational biology and bioinformatics.”
The AIMBE College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers in the country. The most accomplished and distinguished engineering and medical school chairs, research directors, professors, innovators, and successful entrepreneurs comprise the College of Fellows. AIMBE Fellows are regularly recognized for their contributions to teaching, research, and innovation. AIMBE Fellows have been awarded the Nobel Prize, the Presidential Medal of Science, and the Presidential Medal of Technology and Innovation, and many also are members of the National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Medicine, and the National Academy of Sciences.
“Amarda’s recognition as Fellow of AIMBE reflects her many years of impactful research contributions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the life sciences and her dedication to fostering productive interdisciplinary research collaborations,” says David Rosenblum, computer science department chair in the College of Engineering and Computing. “We congratulate her on this well-deserved honor!”
A formal induction ceremony will be held during AIMBE’s 2022 Annual Event on March 25. Shehu will be inducted along with 152 colleagues who comprise the AIMBE Fellow Class of 2022. AIMBE’s mission is to recognize excellence in, and advocate for, the fields of medical and biological engineering to advance society.
