Distinguished University Professorship Awarded
Dr. Sarit Bhaduri received this prestigious rank in 2017. Dr. Bhaduri is currently
researching and developing "Next Generation" biomaterials for orthopedic and dental
applications. Dr. Bhaduri is a mentoring professor within E-CORE and the PI for numerous
projects funded by the NSF I/UCRC grant for the Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal
Innovations (CDMI). The CDMI partners student trainees, PIs and Industry members to
collaborate on selected projects. See Dr. Bhaduri write-up from UT provost here.
American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) Establishes Goel Award
The ASB established the Goel award this past August. This award recognizes outstanding accomplishments
in the translational biomechanics research, entrepreneurship, and societal benefit. This award is named after Dr. Vijay Goel, the ASB Borelli Award winner in 2014 and will be given annually to an ASB member. Recipients of the award will receive $1,000 and an engraved plaque. This award is open to all ASB members excluding officers and committees members.
ASB Fellow Status Bestowed
Dr. Vijay K. Goel was elected to fellow status in the American Society of Biomechanics
(ASB). This appointment will be recognized at the 40th anniversary ASB meeting in
Raleigh, NC.
