Two CLEAR Members inducted into AIMBE College of Fellows

Congratulations are in order for Dr. Katherine Saul and Dr. Derek Kamper for being inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows. Induction into the AIMBE College of Fellows is one of the highest professional distinctions offered to engineers in the medical and biological fields  and is reserved for only the top two percent of engineers in these areas.

Dr. Saul was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows “for outstanding contributions to rehabilitation engineering by developing breakthrough upper limb musculoskeletal models and simulation methods for designing rehabilitation treatments.”

Dr. Kamper was nominated and elected by peers for his contributions to rehabilitation engineering through the identification of impairment mechanisms and the development of interventions targeting these mechanisms.  Kamper’s research centers on rehabilitation engineering with a focus on improving upper extremity function, especially for the hand, in cases of injury or disease.
