The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has recently announced the election of Professor Thomas E. Milner to its College of Fellows for outstanding contributions to the field of laser-based therapy and optical imaging, with particular emphasis on optical coherence tomography and laser surgery.
Inductees were nominated by their peers. The College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers in the country and includes engineering and medical school chairs, research directors, innovators, and successful entrepreneurs all working to fulfill AIMBE’s mission of providing leadership and advocacy in medical and biological engineering.
“The 107 inductees consist of some of the most talented and influential members of our field,” said Kenneth Lutchen, AIMBE President and Dean of Engineering at Boston University. “It is both a pleasure and an honor to welcome the Class of 2012 to our College of Fellows.”
A formal induction ceremony will be held during AIMBE’s 21st Annual Event at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C., on February 20th, 2012.
Since 1991, the College of Fellows has lead the way for technological growth and advancement in the fields of medical and biological engineering. Fellows have helped revolutionize medicine and related fields in order to enhance and extend the lives of people all over the world. They have also successfully advocated for public policies that have enabled researchers and business-makers to further the interests of engineers, scientists, and ultimately, patients.
