Travis Williams of chemistry and Peter Kuhn of biological sciences join a select list of innovators who “have brought or aspire to bring, real impact on the welfare of society.”
Two professors at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences have been named senior members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
Travis Williams, professor of chemistry, and Peter Kuhn, Dean’s Professor of Biological Sciences, along with 9 other USC scholars, join a global cadre of 553 NAI senior members who foster a spirit of innovation within their communities and institutions while educating and mentoring the next generation of inventors.
“These inductions to the National Academy of Inventors celebrate the highest level of academic excellence and also help to demonstrate the incredible power of university faculty to solve real-world problems,” said USC Dornsife Dean Amber D. Miller.
