Northeastern University College of Science Announces Faculty Promotions

We are excited to share this year’s faculty promotions within the Northeastern University College of Science. Each promotion reflects the remarkable contributions our faculty are making in the fields of research and education. Through their cutting-edge research, they are addressing critical global challenges, while their dedication to teaching is shaping the next generation of science professionals.

We extend our warmest congratulations to the faculty members on their well-deserved promotions. We are proud to have such distinguished scholars and educators as part of our COS community.

Paul Whitford Promoted to Professor

We are thrilled to announce the promotion of Paul Whitford to the position of Professor. Paul Whitford has been a pivotal figure in advancing our understanding of the dynamics of large-scale molecular assemblies, such as the ribosome, viral capsids, and the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein. His innovative research has contributed significantly to the field of molecular biophysics, where he and his team have developed groundbreaking theoretical and computational approaches.

Whitford earned his PhD in Physics (Biophysics) from the University of California, San Diego, and since then, his research group has been at the forefront of exploring complex molecular processes across diverse time and length scales. His promotion is a testament to his dedication to scientific discovery and his commitment to advancing biophysics.

Please join us in CONGRATULATING Paul Whitford on this well-deserved achievement!
