Note for Graduate Students
Graduate students can use this directory to find faculty members who match their interests and serve as potential advisors. When choosing an advisor, it’s important to distinguish between those who can independently serve as an advisor and those who can only co-advise. Faculty and affiliates are noted accordingly:
Assistant, associate, or full professors (i.e., faculty) who can independently serve as an advisor to students
Others who can be a co-advisor, but cannot independently serve as an advisor without a faculty co-advisor
In the section below, search and filters appear first, followed by a list of faculty and staff. When a search term is entered into the search input field or a filter is selected, the list of faculty/staff automatically updates to match the search term and/or selected filters.
