WPI Prof Wins Invention Award
A WPI professor will get help developing software to diagnose heart disease thanks to a $25,000 award.
Dalin Tang, WPI professor of mathematical sciences and biomedical engineering, received the Kalenian Award, which is named for inventor and 1933 WPI graduate Aram Kalenian. The award is given annually to help a WPI student, faculty or alumn develop an invention.
The award will help Tang begin trying to commercialize the software, which doctors would use to better assess the stage of a patient's disease and make treatment decisions.
A U.S. patent for the product has already been filed, and an initial market analysis has been performed, funded by a grant from Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center.
