Our faculty are leaders in their fields, from Professor Al Hoagland who was among a small group of IBM engineers who developed the first magnetic disk drive for data storage back in the 1950s, to Professor Drago Siljak who became the subject of a major scholarly mathematical journal, Dynamics of Continuous, Discrete & Impulsive Systems (Volume 11, Issues 2-3, April 2004) devoted to the Professor’s birthday, for a total number of 28 papers.

Our faculty form a collaborative research community working in an environment that is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. They also take pride in their commitment to teaching, demonstrating excellence in teaching that always has been a hallmark of SCU’s teacher-scholars.

Faculty scholarship also benefits our students through enriched teaching materials, keeping our students informed of the latest research and technology. We are proud of the many accomplishments of our faculty who work directly with students doing research, solving problems, teaching, and collaborating.
