The week of October 12 - 16, 2015, was designated as Emory Medicine Recognitions Week. Faculty throughout Emory University’s School of Medicine, which includes biomedical engineering (BME) faculty from Georgia Tech and Emory, were recognized and highlighted throughout the week. Emory’s School of Medicine Celebration of Faculty Excellence award ceremony was held on October 14.
The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory had several faculty recognized during the week and at the award event in these categories:
The Emory 1% Award
Hanjoong Jo
Professor of biomedical engineering, associate chair for Emory/Georgia Tech BME
The Emory 1% Award recognizes faculty principal investigators from any School who received study section scores (NIH grant application scoring system) in the top 1 percentile on a grant proposal.
The MilliPub Club Award
May Wang
Associate professor, biomedical engineering for Emory/Georgia Tech BME,
Georgia Research Alliance Distinguished Cancer Scholar
Qian Ximei
Assistant professor, biomedical engineering, Emory School of Medicine
Shuming Nie
The Wallace H. Coulter Distinguished Faculty Chair in Biomedical Engineering
The MilliPub Club honors and recognizes current Emory faculty who have published one or more individual papers throughout their careers that have each garnered more than 1000 citations. Such a paper is commonly considered a “citation classic” and represents high impact scholarship. The MilliPub Club is sponsored by the School of Medicine, but membership is open to any qualifying Emory faculty member.
Hidden Gems Award
Michael Davis
Associate professor, biomedical engineering for Emory/Georgia Tech BME
Gari Clifford
Associate professor, biomedical engineering for Emory/Georgia Tech BME
Hidden Gem award recipients were nominated by their departments in recognition of their outstanding, but often unnoticed or unrecognized, contributions to Emory and beyond.
