For college athletes who get through their sport's season concussion-free, new research suggests it may be too early to breathe a sigh of relief.

Michael Ladisch, Distinguished Professor in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering and director of Purdue's Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering (LORRE) has been named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.

Pedro Irazoqui, Associate Head of the Weldon School, has been elevated to Senior Member status in the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE).

When Bill Schoenlein started working for the Biomedical Engineering Center after graduating from Purdue, he had no idea that he would stay in Indiana, let alone at Purdue, to pursue a 40-year career in the field.

Craig Goergen, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, received a Scientist Development Grant from the American Heart Association (AHA) for his work in developing a novel imaging system to characterize and monitor vascular disease, specifically abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Sixty-eight Purdue professors, including Weldon School's Charles Babbs, were honored Monday (Dec. 2) when they were inducted into the Book of Great Teachers, which honors outstanding teaching faculty who have demonstrated sustained excellence in the classroom.
