National Academy of Inventors Fellows

UVA Faculty Fellows of the National Academy of Inventors

Since the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) established the NAI Fellows Program in 2012, 10 UVA faculty innovators have been inducted. This acknowledgment aims to “highlight academic inventors who have demonstrated a prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development, and the welfare of society. Election to NAI Fellow status is the highest professional distinction accorded solely to academic inventors.”
