A professor and graduate student from Wichita State University have been awarded the 2024 John A. See Innovation Award.
The John A. See Innovation Award is given each year as a way to recognize novel ideas that have the potential to meet a market need and attract further funding once they have advanced through the early prototyping phase. Examples of supported costs are prototype development, design, product testing and market analysis.
The 2024 winners are as follows:
- Richard Sack, lab manager of the Project Innovation Hub in the College of Engineering. His winning research project is titled “manufacturing conductive nano-scale fibers by combining electrospinning with ultrasonic phased arrays.”
- Nick Vasilescu, a graduate student in innovation and design, was awarded for his biotech startup TestKey.
