Renowned for her pioneering contributions to solar power, Dr. Mária Telkes earned the nickname “Sun Queen” in the United States, a country she made her home after her initial studies in chemistry in Hungary. Her career was a testament to her commitment to renewable energy research. Even at the age of 63 in 1964, Dr. Telkes was actively involved in her field and receiving invitations to share her expertise. The display shows a stylized portrait of Dr. Mária Telkes, with a prominent blue and yellow background. The image features her face in a sketched art style, presenting her with wavy hair and a calm expression. Text accompanying the portrait highlights her as a trailblazer and refers to her as Dr. Mária Telkes, along with the branding of the “American Experience” documentary series.
