Two academic faculty members were named as Regents Professors:
Two research faculty members were granted the title of Regents Researcher:
“These individuals are among the finest scholars in the nation,” said Provost Rafael L. Bras. “They represent preeminence in scholarship and research, which, in turn, has important implications for Georgia Tech and for the economic success of the state. Most importantly, it is our students who benefit from the experience of being taught, advised, and mentored by these outstanding faculty.”
Nominations are the result of a unanimous recommendation from the president, provost, executive vice president for research, a faculty committee, and college deans.
“They have made tremendous contributions to the research, education, and economic development missions of Georgia Tech,” added Executive Vice President for Research Stephen E.

The titles are awarded by the Board of Regents, which governs the University System of Georgia.
