Collegiate Inventors Competition
Finalists in CIC 2015 at National Inventors Hall of Fame
Collegiate Inventors Hall of Fame finalist in 2015, presenting our "Smart Stethoscope" invention at the USPTO. For those interested, the Collegiate Inventors Competition is a prestigious program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and Invent Now. It is a national competition that recognizes and rewards innovations, discoveries, and research by students and their faculty advisers. This award was for work done during my PhD.
