Three University of Arizona faculty members were confirmed last week as Regents Professors by the Arizona Board of Regents.
Regents Professor is the university's highest faculty rank, awarded to full professors whose accomplishments warrant national and international distinction. The prestigious title is limited to no more than 3% of the university's tenured and tenure-track faculty members.
"The University of Arizona's reputation is founded on the strength of our faculty, whether it's through their groundbreaking research, the mentorship and instruction they provide our students, or their engagement with our communities," said University President Suresh Garimella. "And our Regents Professors receive the highest honor we can bestow because of their extraordinary work and commitment to our university, and the impact they have here in Arizona and worldwide. I offer warm congratulations to our newest Regents Professors for this well-deserved achievement."
The University of Arizona's three newest Regents Professors are:
- Janko Nikolich, Bowman Professor and Head of the Department of Immunobiology
- Jiang Wu, Professor, Department of East Asian Studies
- Dennis Zaritsky, Professor, Department of Astronomy
