Concordia professors Charles Acland, Fariborz Haghighat and Martha Langford are pioneers in their respective disciplines and their countless career accomplishments have not gone unnoticed.
They have now each earned the university's highest form of recognition for overall research achievements: Distinguished University Research Professor (DURP).
"We are very proud to present this award to three prolific Concordia researchers," says Christophe Guy, vice-president of Research and Graduate Studies.
"Their outstanding work in communication studies, engineering and art history has helped shape the direction of these important fields. Their acclaimed research is as impactful as the inspiration they offer the students and peers who surround them."
This is the second year that Concordia has conferred DURPs to a select group of faculty members who demonstrate outstanding and sustained excellence in research. Nominees must also be recognized nationally and internationally for both impact and leadership in their fields.
Award laureates retain the title until retirement.
