The Technology Licensing Office has tapped three University of Utah researchers to serve as Innovation Ambassadors to their colleagues. These ambassadors are liaisons between our office and their departments across campus.

“Drawing from the success of similar programs at other institutions, we recognize the importance of ‘muscle memory’ within departments for fostering innovation and managing it effectively,” said Jonathan Tyler, TLO director of commercialization. “We eagerly anticipate the transformative impact our innovation ambassadors will have within their respective departments and, more broadly, on the expansive innovation ecosystem both on and off campus.”

The first Innovation Ambassadors are Jungkyu Kim, Swomitra Mohanty, and Jess Tate. For more information on the new ambassadors, visit TLO’s news release.
