Dr. Sri Sarma has been named a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). She is among 171 engineers and researchers in this year’s class who were celebrated at an induction ceremony in Arlington, Virginia.
Membership in AIMBE’s College of Fellows is reserved for the top 2% of medical and biological engineers. Dr. Sarma has been recognized for her outstanding contributions to teaching, research, and innovation.
Dr. Sarma is a professor of biomedical engineering, the associate director of the Institute of Computational Medicine, and vice dean for graduate education at the Whiting School of Engineering. She develops computational, data-driven, and biological approaches to advance the knowledge and treatment of diseases of the nervous system including epilepsy, chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, and insomnia. She also harnesses dynamical systems and control theory to understand how the brain governs complex behaviors, including motor control and decision-making. Sarma is the executive director of Neurotech Harbor, a technology accelerator focused on advancing the development of medical devices that diagnose, treat, and manage neurological disorders.
She was recognized “for pioneering contributions in epilepsy diagnostics and therapeutics with novel network models, and for leadership in NeuroTech translation.”
