A major initiative at UNM to recognize and support the work of women STEM faculty started with an anonymous donation of $1.5 million in 2015.
Since then, the donation has fueled research on brain stimulus and substance abuse, the engineering of bones and ligaments and the tracing of pueblo pottery. Awards to 69 women also have sparked innovation and collaboration on issues including head injuries in professional fighters, an artificial leaf that can generate solar energy and themes of equality in Albuquerque’s rental market.Read about the work of the winners below.
See our Women in STEM Awards page for more information, and check back as we add more profiles and videos.
