The National Academy of Inventors’ Top 100 Worldwide Universities list places ASU 9th in the world for a third consecutive year. Helping to maintain that ranking was the work of Shane Johnson, a research scientist in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, along with Jake Okun and Thomas Sugar, both faculty members in the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks. Both schools are part of the Fulton Schools. Johnson developed a way to find the optimal growth conditions for group of alloys that play a role in producing valuable semiconductor materials. Sugar and Okun developed a wearable assistive device for people who struggle with movement due to lower limb weakness.
