‘University-Wide Commitment to Supporting and Investing in Research’

ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵ is committed to pursuing cutting-edge research and to ensuring that our undergraduate and graduate students have opportunities to work alongside our world-class scholars.

Directing our University-wide research portfolio is Ronald S. Harichandran Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE, our vice provost for research. A prominent scholar in civil and structural engineering, he has published more than 15 journal and conference articles. During less than a decade at the University, he has served as the principal investigator or co-principal investigator for competitively awarded external grants totaling nearly $6 million.

"Dr. Harichandran is a distinguished scholar, and his efforts have been instrumental in earning funding for and raising the visibility of the groundbreaking research that is taking place on campus," said University of ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵ President Steven Kaplan, Ph.D. "At this exciting and critical juncture, we are fortunate to have an outstanding institutional champion to advance our University-wide commitment to supporting and investing in research."
