Hopkins Students' Invention a Winner
Four Johns Hopkins University students were recognized during the 2010 Collegiate Inventors Competition awards event on October 27th at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. A special dinner honoring the finalists was held earlier at the United States Patent and Trademark Auditorium the evening before and was attended by PTO Director David Kappos and Commissioner of Patents Robert Stoll. The Hopkins students--Leyla Isik, Salina Khushal, Michael Shen & Emilie Yeh--won $2,500 for their third place invention, entitled "Intelligent Surgical Drill for Improved Orthopedic Surgery." First and second place awards went to several students representing Harvard, MIT, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
