Research Recognition Martin School Director Ron Zimmer named 2023 University Research Professor

Our very own Director, Dr. Ron Zimmer, has earned a very special honor this year. He has been named one of sixteen University Research Professors for 2023-2024! 

Excerpted from the UKNOW article published today:

On Friday, the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees approved 16 University Research Professors for the 2023-24 academic year. Established by the Board of Trustees in 1976, the professorships program recognizes excellence across the full spectrum of research at UK.

“The Commonwealth and university continue to benefit from the work and expertise of these dedicated scholars and scientists,” said Lisa Cassis, UK’s vice president for research. “It is an honor to recognize this outstanding group of faculty and to support their future endeavors to improve the lives of Kentuckians as we continue to expand the depth and breadth of UK’s research enterprise.”
