Please join me in congratulating the faculty members recognized as our first ever group of Fulton Exemplar Faculty. The Fulton Exemplar Faculty distinction was created to recognize outstanding tenured and tenure-track faculty who are strong contributors to both the education and research missions of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
Fulton Exemplar Faculty are distinguished by the unique combination of having high research productivity, instructional load, student evaluations and doctoral student mentoring. There is a limited number of these two-year awards, with a target of 10 percent of the tenured/tenure-track faculty at any given time. This year, about 5 percent of the faculty were selected; they include:
- Bertan Bakkaloglu, School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering
- Selçuk Candan, School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering
- Chaitali Chakrabarti, School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering
- Peter Crozier, School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy
- Lenore Dai, School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy
- Hasan Davulcu, School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering
- Kory Hedman, School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering
- Marcus Herrmann, School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy
- Shawn Jordan, The Polytechnic School
- Amy Landis, School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment
- Antonia Papandreou-Suppappola, School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering
- Kaushal Rege, School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy
- Kenn Sullivan, School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment
We followed a process suggested by the Fulton Schools Faculty Executive Committee: The Fulton Schools Directors submitted nominations that I reviewed with the Leadership Team. The Fulton Schools Faculty Executive Committee then approved the final suite of recipients, through review of an anonymous list of qualifications.
In addition to this recognition, the Fulton Exemplar Faculty will receive $5,000 in discretionary funds each year.
This is one component of a broader recognition program that you will hear more about in the next few months. I want to thank the Faculty Executive Committee for taking a leadership role in designing this program. My thanks also to all of you for contributing to our amazing growth in student success, research program impact, and national recognition. It is exciting to be part of a dynamic and fun engineering school with amazing faculty, staff and students.
Congrats again to our new Fulton Exemplar Faculty!
Paul J.
