WATERMAN AWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

MUYINATU \u201cBISI\u201d BELL<\/a>, John C. Malone Associate Professor in electrical and computer engineering<\/a>, received the National Science Foundation\u2019s 2024 Alan T. Waterman Award, considered the nation\u2019s highest honor for early-career scientists and engineers, for her work \u201charnessing light and sound to improve biomedical imaging systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

As director of the Photoacoustic and Ultrasonic Systems Engineering (PULSE) Lab<\/a>, Bell is advancing health care interventions and diagnosis through techniques that are transforming ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging. Among her innovations are an algorithm that can enable accurate ultrasound images, regardless of a patient\u2019s skin tone or BMI (see Delivering on the Promise of Personalized Medicine), and an AI-driven diagnostic tool that can identify COVID-19 in lung ultrasounds. Bell has joint appointments in the departments of Biomedical Engineering<\/a> and Computer Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

NATIONAL ACADEMY OF INVENTORS FELLOW <\/strong><\/p>\n

HAI-QUAN MAO<\/a>, professor of materials science and engineering<\/a> and director of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology<\/a>, was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. A pioneer in the field of regenerative medicine and therapy delivery, Mao creates nanofiber scaffolds to regenerate tissues such as the liver, soft tissues, and blood vessels.<\/p>\n

\n

EARLY CAREER AWARD <\/strong><\/p>\n

SOLEDAD VILLAR<\/a>, assistant professor of applied mathematics and statistics<\/a>, received a National Science Foundation Early CAREER Award, which recognizes early-stage scholars with high levels of promise and excellence, for her project \u201cSymmetries and Classical Physics in Machine Learning for Science and Engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

ROSALIND FRANKLIN YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

YUTING LUO<\/a>, assistant professor in materials science and engineering<\/a> and a member of the Ralph O\u2019Connor Sustainable Energy Institute, received the Argonne National Laboratory\u2019s 2024 Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award for her materials and electrochemistry research.<\/p>\n

\n

NEW LEADERSHIP FOR DOCTOR OF ENGINEERING PROGRAM <\/strong><\/p>\n

ASHUTOSH DUTTA<\/a>, the chief 5G strategist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory<\/a> and an IEEE Fellow, was named director of the Whiting School\u2019s Doctor of Engineering program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Established in 2018, the Doctor of Engineering program, which is designed for working professionals, includes research collaboration between a student\u2019s employer and the Whiting School.<\/p>\n

Dutta is focusing on growing the program by increasing the number of APL staff members and Johns Hopkins faculty serving as program advisers, establishing new partnerships with industry and government to increase corporate engagement and research collaboration, and growing annual enrollment by enhancing the resources available to prospective applicants.<\/p>\n

Dutta previously served as chair of the Engineering for Professionals electrical and computer engineering program and is a member of JHU\u2019s Institute for Assured Autonomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

ONLINE GRADUATE PROGRAM AMONG NATION\u2019S BEST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johns Hopkins Engineering\u2019s online graduate degree programs<\/a> continue to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as among the nation\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

In the publication\u2019s 2024 rankings, announced in February, multiple EP programs ranked No. 1, including its online computer information technology offerings, which tied for the top spot. Rankings in this category considered data from five EP fields: computer science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, information systems engineering, and data science.<\/p>\n

Also tied for the No. 1 spot are EP\u2019s engineering management and electrical and computer engineering programs.<\/p>\n

EP\u2019s online programs overall now tie for No. 6 among the Best Online Master\u2019s in Engineering Programs. This year\u2019s specialty rankings include EP\u2019s industrial\/systems engineering program at No. 8; mechanical engineering at No. 7; and civil engineering, which tied for No. 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
