Prof. Jean-Luc Brédas is appointed Regents' Professor. He began his career at Tech in 2003 and is also a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar & Chair in Molecular Design.
Faculty who are promoted to the rank of Regents' Professor are recognized on the Tech campus as intellectual and educational leaders of the highest order.
Tech is allowed to nominate two individuals per year for appointment as Regents' Professors. They hold the distinction of professor and are nominated by their colleges based on excellence in research and teaching and contributions to their profession over a period of time. A committee made up of Regents' Professors and other chaired professors representing the six colleges considers the nominations and makes a recommendation to the Provost.
Congratulations, Jean-Luc!
