Dr. Mária Telkes, often referred to as the “Sun Queen” of America, embarked on her illustrious career with a background in chemistry from Hungary, her country of origin. Eventually making the United States her new home, Telkes committed herself to the exploration and development of solar energy science. By the year 1964, at the age of 63, she was still actively engaged in her research and was extending her expertise by presenting at various events and conferences.
