RIT interim dean named one of the 50 Most Important African Americans in Technology
André Hudson, interim dean of Rochester Institute of Technology’s College of Science, has been included in this year’s list of the 50 Most Important African Americans in Technology.
The 22nd annual list will appear in the December issue of the Journal of Black Innovation.
The list highlights the “overlooked overachievers” among the one million African Americans in the STEM workforce and academia with achievements during the past year.
Hudson joined RIT in 2008 and was appointed interim dean in August.
Before that, he served as head of the Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences. He is trained as a biochemist and the major themes of his research are vested in enzymology and genomics.
“I am honored to be included on a list with so many brilliant people,” Hudson said. “Each year, this list illuminates (the) incredible contributions by Black scientists, scholars, engineers and innovators. I wish to congratulate everyone who has been selected as they continue to push their fields and vocations onward and upward.”
The Journal of Black Innovation is the scholarly resource for the findings of Black scientists worldwide, publishing monthly since 2015.
