Two Georgia Tech faculty members have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world's largest interdisciplinary scientific society.
Aaron Levine, associate dean for research and outreach in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, and Susan Margulies, Wallace H. Coulter Professor of Medical Engineering and Georgia Research Alliance Distinguished Scholar in Injury Biomechanics. are 2 out of 502 people. Since 1874, the association has recognized scientists, engineers, and innovators for their achievements and efforts that have contributed to the advancement of science and its applications. AAAS Fellows are recognized for outstanding contributions to research, education, technology, and science communication.
The organization chose LevineHe is also a professor at the School of Public Policy and has been recognized for his contributions to biomedical research policy, including advancing our understanding of how policy debates impact controversial research fields. His work is grounded in ethics, policy, and biomedical research.
It also explores the development and oversight of biomedical research and healthcare fields such as stem cell therapy, assisted reproductive technologies, fetal tissue research, and CRISPR.
author of Cloning: Beginner's GuideAn approachable introduction to the science of cloning and the ethical and policy debates it raises, Levine was a 2019-20 fellow of AAAS's Alan I. Leshner Leadership Institute Public Engagement Fellows.
margulies He leads the National Science Foundation's Engineering Directorate, which provides federal funding to academic institutions to support technologies that impact health care, agriculture, clean energy, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and communications systems. Her research spans micro to macro scales in her two distinct subfields: traumatic brain injury and ventilator-induced lung injury.
Her laboratory uses an integrated biomechanical approach consisting of relevant animal models, cell and tissue experiments, complementary computational models and human studies to understand the structural and functional effects of the brain and lungs on mechanical environments. Generating new knowledge about physical reactions.
Margulies is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Biomedical Engineers, and the American Institute of Biomedical Engineering, as well as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Engineering. Medical Academy.
Most recently, Margulies was one of six Georgia Tech researchers named to the 2023 National Fellows class.
