BMES 2013 3 BMES 2013 ANNUAL MEETING SPONSORS Thank you for our sponsors' generous support: PLATINUM GOLD SILVER Thank you to our other supporters: Grants have been provided by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering and the National Science Foundation for the BMES 2013 Annual Meeting. 4 BMES 2013 BMES 2013 MEETING WELCOME Gilda A. Barabino, PhD BMES President Dean, Grove School of Engineering City College of New York ELCOME TO THE 2013 ANNUAL MEETING of the Biomedical Engineering Society! Our Annual Meeting is the premier event for the Society and the field to share the latest advances in biomedical engineering, generate new ideas, recognize achievements, promote career develop- ment, network among colleagues and help shape the future. This year’s theme, “Advancing Hu- Wman Health and Well Being” encompasses the breadth of research and education biomedical engineers are involved in toward advancing human health and well being. I urge you to take full advantage of the excellent technical program, plenaries, special events and myriad opportunities for professional development and networking. 2013 marks the continuation of long-standing traditions and newly established programs to illuminate innovations, rec- ognize achievements, celebrate diversity and develop future biomedical engineers. Coulter College, a training program focused on the translation of biomedical innovations, is in its second year of partnering with BMES. This year it will focus on preparing students for translational work, and teams selected from a national competition will participate in a two-day workshop. Following on the last year’s success of the first session dedicated to health disparities, this year, the session, “Health Disparities: Innovative Approaches to Improved Health,” includes speakers representing aca- demia, professional organizations, industry and government. We are in our second year of partnering with NIH NIBIB to deliver the NIBIB Lecture and the DEBUT Awards and our first year of partnering with NSF to deliver a session on promoting and sustaining innovative research. Promoting the field through awards and other forms of recognition is one of the primary functions of a professional society. Our Awards and Town Hall Ceremony will take place Thursday evening and will include the induction of new BMES Fellows. The Pritzker Distinguished Lecture, Distinguished Achievement, Diversity and Rita Schaffer Young In- vestigator Lecture Awards will be presented during their respective plenary lectures. These plenaries offer attendees a deeper understanding of the research and activities on which the awards are based. The 2013 Diversity Award, for the first time will be given to an institution, Cornell University, in recognition of its efforts to recruit and retain a diverse student body in BME. Grants have been provided by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering BMES has a strong record of inclusion and is committed to developing the careers of all of its members. Formal and and the National Science Foundation for the BMES 2013 Annual Meeting. informal career development opportunities are abundant throughout the meeting starting with a slate of student and early career sessions on career pathways offered on Thursday. The annual Career Fair on Friday afternoon is a major draw for those seeking job opportunities. Networking is an important vehicle for professional development and I encourage you to attend the Welcome Reception on Wednesday, University Receptions on Thursday, and the BMES Bash on

Chubin & Anthony L. DePass, Co-chairs www.understanding-interventions.org FU N D I N G A N D S U PP O R T Understanding Interventions that Broaden Participation in Science Careers has benefited from generous support from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Educational Testing Service, along with productive collaborations with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, the American Society for Cell Biology, the American Society of Plant Biologists, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Long Island University. In September 2013, an NIGMS T36 MARC grant from the National Institutes of Health (Grant No.1 T36 GM 102000) was awarded to Long Island University and it currently provides long- term support for the following: Organization of conferences that will provide: a) venues for dissemination of interventions research and related training; b) opportunities for researchers/practitioners to interact and collaborate; and c) a mechanism for discourse on research-based interventions’ implementation across modalities, stages, and venues. An enhanced and interactive Understanding Interventions website that will: a) facilitate linkages among members of the Understanding Interventions (UI) community; and b) feature an accessible and searchable internet-based annotated database of Interventions articles and other resources. This will expand the dissemination of broadening participation research. An online/email-based publication that distills and disseminates research findings, development opportunities, and general announcements to provide an additional platform for growth of the Understanding Interventions community.

  • Speaker Biographies
    1 ASEE 2018 Engineering Deans Institute Speaker Biographies Nicholas J. Altiero Dr. Altiero received a Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Notre Dame in 1969 and a Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering in 1970, a Master of Arts degree in mathematics in 1971 and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in aerospace engineering in 1974 from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He joined the faculty of the Materials Science and Mechanics department at Michigan State University in 1975. At Michigan State, he advanced through the faculty ranks to the rank of Professor in 1986 and, in 1990, he was named the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies of the College of Engineering, where he had administrative responsibility for the research, technology transfer, graduate studies and distance education operations of the college. In January 1998, he was named Chairman of the Department of Materials Science and Mechanics and he served in that position until June 2000. At that time, he joined the faculty at Tulane University as Dean of the School of Engineering. In 2006, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Tulane University was restructured and Altiero was named the inaugural Dean of the School of Science and Engineering. He served in the position through August 2017. For a brief period in 2016, he served as Tulane's Interim Provost. Altiero has held visiting positions at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy, as a Fulbright Scholar, and at the Technical University of Aachen, Germany, as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. He has taught a wide range of courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and, in 1991, received the State of Michigan Teaching Excellence Award.
