Computational Discovery and Innovation:
Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative
Welcome to Michigan Technological University
Michigan Technological University is redefining graduate and undergraduate education through its interdisciplinary programs, which we plan to enhance through the creation of ten "growth" faculty positions each year. This is called the Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative (SFHI). Last year's theme was sustainability, and this year's theme is Computational Discovery and Innovation. Forthcoming interdisciplinary themes are being identified through far-reaching discussions both inside and outside the university community. This website is dedicated to this hiring initiative.
This initiative aims to support our strengths in computational discovery across disciplines at Michigan Tech, and our vision that our faculty, staff and students will be innovators in all facets of computational research and education. Science and engineering depend on computation to simulate and predict consequences in complex systems. Communication, security, operations management, and commerce depend on the development of new computational and modeling approaches. Our alumni have graciously supported this initiative through gifts to establish two endowed professorships (with the possibility of a third) in the area of Computational Discovery and Innovation. One professorship is endowed by Dave House and the other is endowed by William and Gloria Jackson.
