A HEMI fellow is among five Johns Hopkins faculty members who have been elected to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering 2024 College of Fellows. Election to AIMBE is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to medical and biomedical engineers and recognizes the top 2% of engineers in these fields. It honors those who have made outstanding contributions to engineering and medicine research, practice, or education.
Fellows were honored during an induction ceremony on March 25 at the AIMBE Annual Event in Arlington, Virginia. Rebecca Schulman, a HEMI fellow and associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, was among this year’s class of new inductees. She was recognized by the AIMBE “for pioneering contributions to responsive and dynamic biomaterials development by integrating techniques from in vitro synthetic biology.”
Schulman’s research focuses on the development of materials and nanostructures with the capacity for growth, transformation, and response similar to those of biological materials. She uses fundamental ideas from chemical engineering, biology, chemistry, soft matter physics, computer science, and mathematics to design and construct these materials and combines theory, modeling, and experiments in her work. Schulman’s work lies at the interface of structural and dynamic DNA nanotechnology, materials science, and synthetic biology.
