As far as I got it correctly from Goa born, MIT trained and São Paulo resident Victor Froilano de Mello, he had several inventions related to bridges and dams. Not being an engineer I can't assess their relevance but I know he was a celebrity in Brazil. At least this patent is listed in his Biodata -- "Solidificação química dos solos (Patente Invenção n°US 2651619)" (Source: https://victorfbdemello.com.br/biodata/ )
also of note, although not about a patent but about remarkable scholarship, the Goa-born historian Angela Barreto Xavier was a Infosys Laureate (humanities 2021): https://www.infosysprize.org/laureates.html cheers Cristiana Bastos Institute of Social Sciences | University of Lisbon | Av Anibal Bettencourt, 9 | 1600-189 Lisboa, Portugal *https://cristianabastos.org/ <https://cristianabastos.org/>* On Wed, Nov 8, 2023 at 4:35 AM Santosh Helekar <[email protected]> wrote: > Actually, almost all of the names listed in this thread do not qualify, in > terms of just holding even a single patent on something they have > "invented".
