Conference Overview

This year's Institute for Engineering in Medicine (IEM) Annual Conference is taking place on September 23, 2019 from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM at the McNamara Alumni Center on the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities Campus.

The event will open with plenary keynote talks by nationally recognized leaders, followed by an award ceremony and a lunch session in which IEM leaders will outline an overview of the Institute and options for engagement. The conference will end in the afternoon with a student poster session that highlights the research of faculty members and their groups, and a poster competition that will result in several awards being given for the best student posters.

IEM's Annual Conference shall offer rich opportunities for participants to develop interdisciplinary collaborations between health sciences and engineering, and form teams of collaborators responding to federal/external funding opportunities.

     Dr. Bin He is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where he also serves as Associate Director for Research of Institute for Engineering in Medicine, Director of Center for Neuroengineering, Director of NSF IGERT Training Program in Neuroengineering, and Director of NIH Training Program in Neuroimaging. Dr. He's major research interests include neuroengineering and functional biomedical imaging. He has made significant original contributions to electrophysiological neuroimaging, multimodal functional neuroimaging, brain-computer interface, and cardiac electrophysiological tomography. Dr. He and his colleagues have pioneered the early development of anatomically constrained EEG source imaging and localization by means of the boundary element method, made significant contributions to novel methodologies of imaging spontaneous brain activity, and to the integrated EEG-fMRI neuroimaging methods. His lab has also made significant contributions to noninvasive EEG based brain-computer interface, and demonstrated for the first time the ability for human subjects to control flight of a virtual and real drone using noninvasive brain waves. His work has been featured by ABC News, Washington Post, Scientific American, Economist, and Fox News, among others. Dr. He has published over 180 peer reviewed journal articles and delivered over 250 keynote, plenary and invited talks and seminars in international conferences and institutions worldwide. He served as the President of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (2009-2010), International Society for Functional Source Imaging (2007-2008), and International Society for Bioelectromagnetism (2002-2005). He was the Conference Chair of the 31st Annual International Conference of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (2009) and Chair of Steering Committee of IEEE EMBS Forum on Grand Challenges in Neuroengineering. Dr. He is a Fellow of IEEE, International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering, American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, Institute of Physics, and International Society for Functional Source Imaging. He co-chairs IEEE Life Sciences Project Team and has been appointed as the incoming Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (2013-2015).
