Regent to Host Renowned Chemical Engineer and Inventor Dr. Thomas Mensah

On Thursday, November 22, 2018, Regent University College of Science and Technology will host Dr. Thomas O. Mensah, a renowned Ghanaian-American chemical engineer and inventor.

About Dr. Thomas O. Mensah:

His works are in fields relating to the development of fiber optics and nanotechnology. Dr. Thomas Mensah has 14 patents, 7 of which were awarded within a period of six years, and was inducted into the US National Academy of Inventors in 2015.

He also became a NAI Fellow in 2014 when the institution recognized and honored his work during his time at the Florida State University in the US.

According to the NAI, “A researcher’s contribution reaches the benchmark of inventorship as recognized by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office because its discovery had no significant prior art, was not obvious to someone else skilled in the field, and had a specific use. Although every invention and every inventor is unique, some things are common to all. It takes imagination and ingenuity to be an inventor.”

Venue: Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH 200, Regent Campus)

Time: 10am

Please note that this is a green book event.

The event is open to all Regent students and staff.
