Brown Scholar Gowtham Kadiyala and his team won 1st place at Phantom Aggies Invent, a collaboration between TAMU and III Armored Corps. Their invention modified new-generation military vehicles carrying transport stretchers for injured soldiers during emergencies and heavy combat.
The team designed a versatile rack that slides onto an existing rail system at the back of a medical transport vehicle. The rack can be oriented in different ways allowing secure attachment of up to three stretchers. This design improved the current method of medical transport which accommodates haphazard transport of only one stretcher.
Gowtham was admitted E2EnMed EAP.
