Distinguished Faculty

Have you ever looked to the front of your class and seen a teacher who could pretty much choose to work at any school in the country, and has chosen yours? It’s a nice feeling. Just ask our students, because it’s something they see every day.

The professors at Michigan Tech bring a lot to the table—expertise, experience, industry connections, and international respect. But above all they bring a belief in you, the student. They believe in your voice. They believe in your potential. And they believe in your ambition to create a better future for us all.

Here are just a few recent accomplishments of our distinguished faculty…

An engineering professor was honored as the 2006 Society of Environmental Engineering Professor of the Year.

A mathematics professor helped solve the international mystery of why the Eiffel Tower was originally constructed.

Two physics professors played key roles in the construction of the Pierre Auger Observatory, which will study ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.

A psychology professor is the only researcher in the world to integrate the study of working dogs, humans, and robots.
