Passionate about advancing research interests, I am dedicated to fostering collaboration and innovation at NDSU. In my role, I engage both internal and external stakeholders to drive licensing, industry-sponsored research, and intellectual property protection initiatives. I actively work with researchers to identify potential inventions, manage patent applications, and cultivate strategic partnerships for sponsored research and licensing opportunities. My goal is to enhance NDSU's research ecosystem by increasing the number of inventions and researchers disclosing inventions, ultimately contributing to the university's impact in the academic and commercial spheres.
