The Office of the Associate Dean for Research, under the direction of Fernanda Leite, Ph.D., P.E., works with and on behalf of the faculty to develop and sustain research programs. Our office grows the research portfolio by engaging external entities, leveraging faculty expertise, integrating and assembling teams and creating new opportunities, all in line with the Cockrell School's strategic plan. Staff are organized into three teams that contribute to the research labyrinth within the college.
