CCT Faculty Among Those Honored as LSU’s First “Rainmakers”
LSU recently named 100 outstanding research and creative faculty as its first group of University “Rainmakers,” selecting those who are nationally and internationally recognized for innovative research and creative scholarship, who compete for external funding at the highest levels and who attract and mentor exceptional graduate students.
Vice Chancellor Brooks Keel, head of the Office of Research & Economic Development, solicited nominations from nearly 50 departments representing 12 major academic divisions in both scientific and artistic fields to select the inaugural group of Rainmakers.
Ten faculty members of the Center for Computation & Technology are included among the first group of LSU Rainmakers. They are:
• Ed Seidel
• Jagannathan 'Ram' Ramanujam
• Joel Tohline
• Jorge Pullin
• Sitharama Iyengar
• Rudy Hirschheim
• Stephen David Beck
• Sue Brenner
• Sumanta Acharya
• Thomas Sterling
LSU will honor the Rainmakers with a gala on Sept. 10, 2008, and will publicize their research and accomplishments throughout the year.
LSU’s Office of Research & Economic Development plans to repeat the Rainmakers nomination process annually.
