Robert E. Fischell, a biomedical inventor, will deliver the annual Sydney and Mitzi Blumenthal Lecture and Award for Contributions to Management in Technology at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25, in Mason Hall Auditorium. A reception follows the lecture. RSVP online.
Dr. Fischell is a professor of the practice, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, chair of Fischell Biomedical LLC and Angel Medical Systems Inc., a 2005 TED Prize winner and featured speaker, and a 2016 National Medal of Technology and Innovation awardee.
This lecture series was conceived by Sydney Blumenthal, who earned an electrical engineering degree at Johns Hopkins in 1937 and went on to become chairman of the Blumenthal-Khan Electrical Limited Partnerships, a contracting company based in Owings Mills, Md. In 1993, he and his wife, Mitzi, endowed the award and lecture to enrich the educational experience at Johns Hopkins. The lecture allows students to hear distinguished speakers talk about subjects such as business management, entrepreneurship, law and ethics, and how these topics apply to engineering and technology.
