Hang Lu, professor and James R. Fair Faculty Fellow in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has been elected as a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).

Lu's research is at the interface of engineering and biology. She engineers BioMEMS (Bio Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) and microfluidic devices to address questions in neuroscience, cell biology, and biotechnology that are difficult to answer using conventional techniques. In 2014, she was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

She will be formally inducted at the AIMBE Annual Event on March 15^th in Washington, D.C. Fellows are nominated each year by their peers and represent the top 2% of the medical and biological engineering community. Election to AIMBE is a multi-step process with extensive peer review followed by a vote by all current fellows. With their induction, Georgia Tech will now have 27 AIMBE fellows.The College of Fellows consists of over 1,500 individuals who are the outstanding leaders, engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators in medical and biological engineering.
