Coulter Distinguished Faculty Chair and a Regents&rsquo; Professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory. He is also the associate chair for translational research, and the founder and director of the Center for Innovative Cardiovascular Technologies. Yoganathan&rsquo;s lab has either directly or indirectly evaluated all prosthetic heart valves in use in the United States since 1975.

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
