Sonneborn Chair

William and Karen Sonneborn Chair for Interdisciplinary Collaboration

An important component of the research in the CTI is supported by the William and Karen Sonneborn Chair for Interdisciplinary Collaboration. The purpose of the Chair is to incentivize interdisciplinary collaboration among Georgetown University faculty and to expand the ways that students (both undergraduate and graduate) can be meaningfully engaged in their interdisciplinary research processes. Professors Albanese, Stoll and Van Keuren are the inaugural holders of the chair positions, which aims to promote interdisciplinary research and student mentoring. We have been using the Sonneborn Chair position to strengthen and support STEM education among underserved and underrepresented students who are interested in a career in science.

Interested students and postdocs are encouraged to contact the Chairs for more information.
