The International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering (IAMBE) welcomed and elected 26 Fellows for the Class of 2021.
The IAMBE, affiliated with the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE), is made up of Fellows who are recognized for their outstanding contributions to the profession of medical and biological engineering. Election to the Academy is highly selective, initiated by nominations which are involved with at least 3 current Fellows and screened by the Membership Committee of the Academy. The election is conducted by a vote of all Fellows of the Academy. There are currently less than 250 Fellows world-wide.
Congratulations to the newly elected Fellows from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, especially CSL's Yoram Bresler!
Yoram Bresler is the GEBI Founder Professor of Engineering. He was elected as a Fellow “for pioneering and seminal contributions to biomedical imaging theory, algorithms, and technology." He is a professor in bioengineering and electrical and computer engineering and is also affiliated with the Beckman Institute.
