Dr. Eric Guilbeau's current administrative duties include responsibility for all aspects of Arizona State University's undergraduate and graduate Bioengineering Program. He was recently elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering for his contributions to biomedical engineering education.
He is past President of the Biomedical Engineering Society. He helped establish the National Council of Chairs of Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering Programs and recently served as its chair. He is a past chair of the Academic Council of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering. He was responsible for organizing the 1994 Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society, which was held at Arizona State University in October of 1994.

He also organized the program for the 1995 Annual Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Division of the American Society of Engineering Education and was chair of the ASEE/BED Division in 1996/97. His research experience includes over twenty years of productive activity in biomedical engineering research.

He has experience in administering grants from the NIH, the American Heart Association, the Arizona Disease Control Research Commission and others. He is currently the Project Director for a $3,000,000 Program Development Award from the Whitaker Foundation for enhancement of ASU’s Bioengineering Program and the development of a department of Bioengineering at ASU. He is the CO-PI on a $1,000,000 grant from the Whitaker Foundation to help the Biomedical Engineering Society become the “Full Service” Society for Biomedical Engineering. He has published over seventy scholarly research publications and served as the faculty advisor of twenty-four graduate students. His research in biosensors resulted in a United State Patent for a novel method for sensing blood glucose.
