\n\t\tMosquito Magnet inventor to speak as part of

\n溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Engineering Entrepreneurship Lecture series, Feb. 21<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 February 13, 2007 \u2013 Bruce Wigton, founder of American Biophysics and the inventor of the Mosquito Magnet, will speak on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 2 p.m. as part of the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Engineering\u2019s Risica Endowed Lecture Series in Engineering Entrepreneurship. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe lecture at the University Club on 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kingston Campus is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n


\n\tWigton\u2019s talk, \u201cAmerican Biophysics \u2013 The Early Days,\u201d will chronicle the research and discoveries that led to development of the propane powered mosquito trap that is sold commercially as Mosquito Magnet. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThe story at American BioPhysics is particularly compelling because the behavior mysteries revolve around a creature that is familiar to us all, and the solution has evaded discovery for centuries,\u201d said Wigton.<\/p>\n


\n\tWigton is a graduate of Oakland University in Pontiac, Mich., and did graduate work at 溏心vlog免费B站 in the Department of Ocean Engineering. Before founding American Biophysics, he worked in the research and development division of ITT Grinnell and as the engineering manager of Goldline Controls in East Greenwich.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Anthony J. Risica Endowed Lecture Series in Engineering Entrepreneurship was established in 2003 with a donation from Tony Risica, a 溏心vlog免费B站 engineering alumnus who helped start the telecommunications company Sonus Networks.<\/p>\n


\n\tFor more information about the lecture, call the College of Engineering dean\u2019s office at 401-874-2186.<\/p>\n
