WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue University‘s College of Engineering has named four research teams that will be a priority for faculty hiring during the coming year.

The teams were chosen because the work they do has the potential for dramatic impact and international pre-eminence. They are part of the college's strategic growth plan that will add as many as 107 faculty over five years. In addition to the team hiring, other hires are related to strengthening disciplines and taking advantage of opportunities to enhance quality or diversity.

The strategic growth plan is part of Purdue Moves, a range of initiatives designed to broaden Purdue's global impact and enhance educational opportunities for its students. More information on the teams can be found at https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/AboutUs/StrategicGrowthInitiative/Teams
