EMBS, the world's largest society of biomedical engineers, cited his "contribution to neural engineering and biomedical instrumentation, including measuring biomechanical properties of skin and tissue, building a tactile display for a virtual Braille system, and discovery of a neural basis for sensory adaptation in behavior." Wang was presented with the award at the 36th EMBS annual conference, held in Chicago, IL, August 26-30.
"This is a tremendous honor for me," says Wang, who is also the director of the Neural Engineering and Control Lab at Columbia Engineering. "It's very exciting to see my work recognized by such an important organization, which is the world's largest international society of biomedical engineers."
