George R. Wodicka

degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1982 where he worked under the guidance of Moise Goldstein,[1] Murray Sachs,[2] and Eric Young.

[9] Wodicka was then named a Guggenheim Fellow[10] which allowed him to undertake early clinical studies of novel monitoring systems for neonates[11][12] at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

These studies ultimately led to his founding of SonarMed, Inc.[13] with two of his doctoral students, Jeffrey Mansfield and Eduardo Juan, which developed and marketed the only FDA-approved system[14] to monitor the position of breathing tubes in infants requiring assisted ventilation.

He guided significant philanthropic gifts that were recognized by renaming the department the Weldon[17] School of Biomedical Engineering, establishing the Dane A. Miller Headship,[18] as well as creating both the Leslie A. Geddes and Marta E. Gross[19] professorships[20] and the Bottorff[21] Fellows graduate program.

He was a member of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology Visiting Committee and serves on the advisory board of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University.
