Faculty Directory
Find faculty members who share your interests
Are you a potential graduate student looking for a mentor? An undergraduate student exploring colleges? Or maybe another faculty member seeking a research partner? There are two ways to find a faculty member using the information below: you can search by department or find an expert by research area of interest.
Enroll in the Ichthyology course and you’ll get the chance to don a pair of hip waders and explore local streams like Stroubles Creek, which runs through the Virginia Tech campus. Professor Don Orth will be right there beside you to help identify the common and celebrate the rare aquatic species that call Southwest Virginia home.
Find a faculty member by department
Stella Schons teaches students about the economics and business of forestry, and her tools of the trade are models and spreadsheets. She’s putting these tools to work and collaborating with local communities to address one of the biggest and most complex challenges of our time: conservation and deforestation in the Amazon.
