About the Initiative:
The Faculty Innovation Ambassadors Program, led by the IU Innovation and Commercialization Office, will support researchers as they develop their research and guide them in understanding translational activities related to intellectual property and commercial development.
The ambassadors will receive training through workshop intensives and will gain an understanding of how basic science and technology are developed into commercial products and innovations. They will be a direct resource to their colleagues in navigating translational activities related to intellectual property and commercialization.
Ambassador chosen from IU Physics:
Chen-Ting Liao, an associate professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences at IU Bloomington. Liao aims to develop new quantum sensing and imaging techniques for probing matter for semiconductor and quantum materials.
