A Message From the Chief Research and Innovation Officer

As Chief Research and Innovation Officer (CRIO) I am charged with providing leadership and vision for the overall operation and development of both classified and unclassified research activities, innovation, entrepreneurship, technology transfer, and economic development at the university. I plan, oversee, and support efforts of the Research and Innovation Enterprise and staff, centers, and programs ensuring quality performance, growth of each enterprise, and synergistic integration across programs and personnel.

I am always seeking and exploring opportunities for new research and innovation projects, new collaborations, new partnerships, and new opportunities. Please feel free to contact me to discuss how our research and innovation is changing the world and how you could partner with Louisiana Tech to do more.
