Proud to serve our state and beyond

We also share our expertise and collaborate with communities on grand challenges such as health computing, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and the environment, all to make Maryland thrive.
It is an honor to lead this college and bring Science Terps' excellence in research and academics to new levels of visibility and recognition. I am committed to championing the efforts of our talented faculty, staff and students who are advancing new frontiers of scientific knowledge every day.
