Dr. Ruogu Fang, incoming assistant professor in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering, has been selected as a member of the Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) inaugural Future Computing Academy (FCA). Fang will join the department effective summer 2017.

Over 300 applicants from academia and industry applied to become members of this inaugural class of the ACM FCA. A selected group of 45 members will meet for the first time in San Francisco, June 25, after attending the ACM’s celebration of 50 years of the ACM Turing Award June 23 – 24.

Fang’s research involves data, brain and health. She focuses on questions such as: How to evaluate brain health, via mining the big medical data? She also explores how to make medical imaging higher quality and lower risk for the broad population. Fang’s current research is rooted in the big medical data and brain dynamics understanding.

Congratulations, Dr. Fang!
