The Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE) has once again recognized UConn’s significant contribution to research and innovation with the election of nine new members to the prestigious group.
UConn and UConn Health faculty account for 25% of the CASE induction class of 2026, announced earlier this week. The Academy will introduce a total of 36 new members at CASE’s 51st Annual Dinner, scheduled to be held on May 19.
CASE membership is reserved for scientists and engineers who live or work in the state. The Connecticut General Assembly established the Academy in 1976, seeking to provide expert guidance on science and technology to influence policy and investment. Each member of CASE has achieved a level of scientific distinction through original contributions to science and engineering.
UConn is well represented in CASE, both in the Class of 2026 as well as historically. Hundreds of CASE members are current or emeritus UConn faculty and leaders, with numerous alumni also among the membership ranks.
“UConn is proud of the many faculty members who have transcended the University to become excellent contributors to Connecticut’s legacy in innovation, science, engineering, and health,” says Linsday DiStefano, UConn’s interim Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship. “Our University aligns with CASE’s mission, as evident by the nine new members as well as the many UConn-affiliated members throughout the Academy’s history.”
