A Binghamton University grad student is the first person in the US to receive the Institute of Engineering and Technology 2007's Mike Sargeant Award.

The international recognition is given to the young professional who made the most progress in his or her career over a certain number of years. BU doctoral student Guru Madhavan was presented with the award in London on November 13th. Madhavan is currently working on improving blood circulation throughout the body with a non-invasive stimulation system.

Guru Madhavan, BU Grad student says, "One important thing that I want to mention, is that Binghamton doesn't think problems as problems but we take problems as opportunities and I think that really puts a different spin on the way we approach research." Madhavan says his research could help prevent osteoporosis, heart problems and certain mental health conditions.
