Evan Pugh Professors in the Eberly College of Science

Of the 25 Evan Pugh Professors actively teaching at Penn State, 14 hold appointments in the Eberly College of Science.

Each Evan Pugh Professor is chosen for the honor because he or she “has displayed the courage to pioneer in his or her field, the discipline to remain at the forefront of research, and the generosity of spirit to share these accomplishments with students.” In addition, the professor’s “research publications must be of the highest quality and must have contributed significantly to the education of students who later achieve recognition for excellence in the candidate’s discipline or interdisciplinary area.”
