Shortly after his second place win in the MSE Elevator Pitch Competition, MSE Ph.D. student Francisco Quintero placed as runner-up in the Three Minute Thesis Competition. Nusaiba Baker, a doctoral student in Biomedical Engineering won first place in the competition.

Since 2015, the Georgia Tech version of the international Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition has helped graduate students hone their communication skills by challenging them to share their research in three minutes in a way anyone could understand. MSE graduate student Francisco Quintero is the first MSE student to place at the Three Minute Thesis. 

Neha Kondkar, the first place winner of the MSE Elevator Pitch Competition, also participated in the Three-Minute Thesis Competition, but did not place.
