List of program faculty, by department

Students enrolling in the MITER program will have two advisers, one each from their major and minor departments. MITER students need to have at least one adviser from the MITER graduate faculty. (Students taking the minor who are not in the MITER program will work with the director of graduate studies rather than being assigned an adviser from MITER’s graduate faculty.)

Below is a list of MITER program faculty and their primary research interests. The link points to the faculty member’s biography.
