Rick Smith
Director of Technology Transfer
How would you describe your job to a layperson?
University faculty researchers invent new innovative technologies in their labs. I help them commercialize these inventions by working with companies around the world who are developing products similar to the university invention. Sometimes we start a company to commercialize the invention too.
What are your hobbies? I have many hobbies that I enjoy. Fitness, I play in a men’s baseball league, listen to music, I play guitar, I’m an amateur winemaker, and my favorite, I like to travel.
What is something that people may not know about you? I was a volunteer fireman, EMT, and arson investigator in Connecticut. My great grandfather was a professional boxer in Pennsylvania
