Six New Faces in SEAS

Six New Faces in SEAS

When The Compass was preparing this year's special insert on new faculty in all of the schools (Almanac October 7), the School of Engineering and Applied Science sent thumbnail sketches of its six new faculty directly from the Dean's Office, and arranged for photographs to be sent from an off-campus source. Inexplicably, the photographs did not arrive. But the Dean has since tracked them down, and we are pleased to present them now on behalf of The Compass.

Rajeev Alur, Associate Professor of Computer and Information Science, specializes in computer-aided verification with strong ties to diverse areas such as CAD, software engineering, real-time systems, and control systems; Ph.D. from Stanford.
