Dr. Shalini Prasad
Dr. Shalini Prasad, professor and head of bioengineering at The University of Texas at Dallas, was elected a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) for her pioneering contributions in developing sweat wearables for tracking and management of chronic diseases and for prognostic monitoring in pandemics.
The AIMBE College of Fellows is composed of the top 2% of medical and biological engineers in the country. Prasad was inducted at a March 25 virtual ceremony along with 153 colleagues who make up the newest class of fellows.
As a bioengineer, I have witnessed the practical demonstration of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, said Prasad, who is also a Cecil H. and Ida Green Professor in Systems Biology Science in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. Every biomedical device technology that I have created comes together by integrating engineering and sciences, and the impact is monumental. It is fabulous to wake up every day as a bioengineer.
The most accomplished and distinguished engineering and medical school chairs, research directors, professors, innovators and successful entrepreneurs comprise the College of Fellows. Fellows include clinicians, industry professionals, academics and scientists who have distinguished themselves through their contributions in research, industrial practice and/or education.
In addition to Prasad, other UTDallas faculty members who have been elected to the College of Fellows are Dr. Stuart Cogan, professor of bioengineering; Dr. Baowei Fei, professor of bioengineering and Cecil H. and Ida Green Chair in Systems Biology Science; Dr. Joseph Pancrazio, vice president for research and innovation and professor of bioengineering; Dr. Walter Voit BS05, MS06, associate professor of materials science and engineering and of mechanical engineering; and Dr. Jie Zheng, professor of chemistry and a Cecil H. and Ida Green Professor in Systems Biology Science.
Chen Chen
Chen Chen, a doctoral electrical engineering student at The University of Texas at Dallas, received a predoctoral achievement award from the Solid-State Circuits Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The award, which was presented in January, is given to about two dozen promising graduate students from around the world each year. Chen, who joined UT Dallas in 2018, works on developing more compact and energy-efficient power converters for electric vehicles and next-generation computing systems. Her research interests include power management integrated circuits; hybrid power converter topologies and methodologies; and zero-voltage-switching techniques.
Most recently, Chen presented her research at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference in February. She has been first author of studies in publications, including the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. In 2021, Chen received an outstanding student designer award from Analog Devices. Her research has been supported by Semiconductor Research Corp. and UT Dallas Texas Analog Center of Excellence.
As a UTD PhD student in the integrated circuit (IC) design research field, I am very honored and humbled to receive this prestigious award. I hope I can help as a role model for many UTD undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in the IC design research field, she said.
Chens advisors are Dr. Hoi Lee, professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Dr. Jin Liu, professor of electrical and computer engineering.
