In October 2013, Missouri S&T became a charter member of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), an organization that promotes research and innovation among research universities.
Founded in 2010, the NAI recognizes and encourages inventors with patents issued from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, promotes academic technology and innovation, encourages the disclosure of intellectual property, educates and mentors students, and promotes the benefits of its member institutions’ inventions.
K. Krishnamurthy, vice provost for research, will serve on the editorial board of the NAI journal Technology and Innovation – Proceedings of the National Academy of Inventors.
