Eleven UConn and UConn Health researchers are members of the 2023 class of inductees to the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE).

The cohort joins hundreds of UConn scientists and engineers inducted into CASE since its founding. The Connecticut General Assembly chartered the Academy in 1976 to advise the state on matters of science and engineering, especially pertaining to economic advancement and social welfare.

As UConns academic and innovative influence grows, so does our faculty membership in CASE. Thats not a coincidence, says Pamir Alpay, a CASE member and UConns interim vice president for research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. UConn and UConn Health research forms Connecticuts scientific and engineering backbone and its an honor to see our faculty recognized for their brilliance and accomplishments.

Six faculty members from the School of Engineering are among UConns 2023 inductees. The class also includes three faculty members from UConn Health and two from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Our esteemed faculty are pioneers in their respective fields, says School of Engineering Dean Kazem Kazerounian. These professors change the lives of our students, and they deserve every credit for elevating the reputation of our School. We thank the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering for this recognition.

CASE members nominate candidates for induction based on several criteria, including accomplishments in science, engineering, and/or technology. Scientists and engineers can achieve membership through significant original contribution in theory and application or unusual accomplishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of their disciplines. All members must either reside or work in Connecticut.

A total of 35 new members will be inducted on May 24 at the 48th annual CASE meeting and dinner in Branford.
