From advancing our understanding of hurricanes to improving public transit systems, to pursuing new treatments for addiction, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular and infectious diseases, 27 USF faculty members are being recognized on Tuesday, September 17 with Outstanding Research Achievement Awards. The recipients’ research accomplishments span a variety of fields across anthropology, chemistry, computer science, education, engineering, geoscience, medicine, psychology, public health and sociology.
“USF faculty continually demonstrate their skills in conducting high-impact research and innovation to advance frontiers of knowledge, solve global problems, mentor and empower students, and improve lives. We are honored, each year at this time, to shine a spotlight on a few who made stand-out and transformative achievements during the past calendar year,” said Vice President for USF Research & Innovation Sylvia Wilson Thomas. “USF is proud to recognize these individuals and thank them for their extraordinary service to the university, our students and our society.”
The largest internal recognition of its kind at USF, the annual nominations are submitted by deans, department chairs, center and institute directors, and associate deans for research. The nominations are reviewed by members of the USF Research Council. Each faculty member receives $2,000 and recognition for their accomplishments at an awards ceremony on September 17.
