On International Women’s Day TCS is proud of all our women inventors and researchers.  UConn’s President, Dr. Radenka Maric, is a prolific inventor in the area of clean energy which is a testament to not only our commitment to sustainability but also our commitment to ensuring equity in the area of research.

In our last fiscal year (2022), 48 of our invention disclosures included a woman inventor and 4 technologies developed by women PIs were licensed.  Below are few stories that highlight only some of our outstanding women inventors and their groundbreaking research:
