  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech's Interdisciplinary Bioengineering graduate program announces its Summer 2011 graduates who completed their masters or doctorate degrees. &nbsp;</p><p>The program was established in 1992 and has since graduated over 170 students in a broad spectrum of research by over&nbsp;90 participating faculty&nbsp;from the Colleges of Engineering, Computing, Sciences, and Architecture as well as Emory University School of Medicine. &nbsp;The BioE Program is interdisciplinary in that it is not a standalone academic unit like most departments or schools at Georgia Tech. Rather, 8 different academic units from the Colleges of Engineering and Computing make up the program. &nbsp;However, the BioE Program provides the degree requirements for students accepted into the program. This approach allows a flexible, integrative and individualized degree program that enforces depth and breadth in coursework, a solid bioengineering research experience, and yet is reflective of the disciplinary background of the student's home school. Importantly, the BioE Program provides research opportunities for students with any participating program faculty, allowing tremendous diversity and flexibility for research topics and advisors.<br /><em><br />Summer 2011 graduates:</em></p><p><strong>Erskine Benjamin - </strong>BIOE/ME - MS (Non-Thesis)<br /><strong>Jonathan Bergdoll</strong> - BIOE/ECE - MS (Non-Thesis) - <em>Paul Hasler, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Ashley Carson Brown</strong> - BIOE/BMED - PhD - <em>Thomas Barker, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Matthew Crane - </strong>BIOE/ChBE - PhD - <em>Hang Lu, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Bhargav Kumar Errangi - </strong>BIOE/BMED - PhD - <em>James Rilling, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Julie Johnson - </strong>BIOE/ME - MS (Non-Thesis) - <em>Don Giddens, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Sungho Kim - </strong>BIOE/BMED - PhD - <em>Don Giddens, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Peng Meng Kou - </strong>BIOE/BMED - PhD - <em>Julia Babensee, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Jennifer Megan Munson - </strong>BIOE/ChBE - PhD - <em>Ravi Bellamkonda, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Jessica Marie O'Neal - </strong>BIOE/ME - PhD - <em>Robert Guldberg, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Edward Allen Phelps - </strong>BIOE/ME - MS (Non-Thesis) - <em>Andres Garcia, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Andrew Lawrence Raines - </strong>BIOE/BMED - PhD - <em>Barbara Boyan, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Sarah Shieh - </strong>BIOE/ME - MS (Non-Thesis) - <em>David Ku, Advisor<br /></em><strong>Kelly Straub - </strong>BIOE/ME - MS (Non-Thesis) - <em>Rudy Gleason, Advisor</em></p><em><br /></em>]]></body>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  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.  -->
