The Coalition has recognized her for her development of a revolutionary vision correction device called the eSight 3, which makes use of virtual and augmented reality technology.
The annual report honors a select group of researchers, entrepreneurs, and academic administrators whose groundbreaking work, made possible by the Bayh-Dole Act, has changed the lives of millions in the United States and abroad.
The Bayh-Dole Coalition, of which Tech Launch Arizona at the University of Arizona is a member, is a diverse group of innovation-oriented organizations and individuals committed to celebrating and protecting the Bayh-Dole Act, as well as informing policymakers and the public of its many benefits.
On September 18, Dr. Hua and four other recipients will be awarded the second annual Bayh-Dole Coalition American Innovator Award in Washington, D.C. “Dr Hua is an incredible innovator focused on leveraging her expertise to create a better world,” said Doug Hockstad, Associate Vice President of Tech Launch Arizona. “We are proud that the Bayh-Dole Coalition has honored her with this recognition and hope that this award inspires her and our entire community of innovators to bring more great inventions to the world.”
