Savio L-Y Woo is an American bioengineer currently the Distinguished University Professor of Bioengineering at University of Pittsburgh.[1][2][3] He was born in Shanghai, China, in 1942 and immigrated to the United States prior to entering university.[4]
Woo was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 1991[5] and the National Academy of Engineers in 1994 for "contributions to orthopaedic bio-mechanics and tissue engineering and understanding of sports injury, repair, and remodeling".[6]
In honor of his contributions to the field of biomechanics, the Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers established the Savio L.Y. Woo medal in 2016.[7] This medal is awarded annually to an engineer who has demonstrated excellence in the translation of biomedical science and engineering to clinical practice .
