MNTL Faculty Selected as Associates by Center for Advanced Study

One of Illinois’ most respected resources for public events programming and co-sponsorship, the Center for Advanced Study has named two of MNTL’s faculty researchers as Associate(s) for the 2018-19 year. Such recognition incentivizes scholarly achievement and advances the university’s intellectual work.

Dr. Brian T. Cunningham is MNTL’s Director, and serves as professor for both Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Bioengineering. Dr. Lynford Goddard is a professor for ECE as well, and heads the Photonic Systems Laboratory research group, whose work in based at MNTL.

 On an annual basis, CAS invites U of I faculty to submit creative and scholarly proposals for competitive consideration by the Center’s permanent Professors. Tenured faculty whose proposals are selected are appointed Associates. Such an appointment grants one semester of teaching release time to pursue an individual scholarly project of merit, in addition to participation in a yearly roundtable discussion of research interests.
