The University of Mississippi’s faculty members were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the university’s research and creative scholarship profile at a special event held at The Inn at Ole Miss. The event, which was attended by faculty members, staff, and students, aimed to highlight the university’s commitment to fostering a culture of excellence in research and creative scholarship. The recognition of faculty members was a testament to the university’s dedication to providing its students with a world-class education. The Chancellor’s Award for Distinguished Research and Creative Achievement was presented to Breese Quinn, professor of physics and astronomy and director of the Center for Multi-messenger Astrophysics. Quinn’s work in particle physics has been recognized nationally and internationally, and he has authored over 475 research publications. Quinn’s achievements were celebrated by his colleagues and the university’s leadership, who recognized his contributions to the field of particle physics and his dedication to mentoring students. “Dr. Quinn exemplifies what it means to be a leading researcher and mentor,” said John C. Higginbotham, vice chancellor for research and economic development. The Chancellor’s Award for Distinguished Research and Creative Achievement is the highest research award bestowed by the university. It is given to faculty members who have achieved national or international recognition for their work in their field. In addition to Quinn’s award, the university recognized faculty members in multiple categories, including arts and humanities; social and behavioral sciences; and life science, physical science, math or engineering. The awards were presented to faculty members who had made significant contributions to their respective fields.

1. Arts and Humanities: Jacob Justice, assistant professor of speech communication, and Deborah Mower, professor of philosophy and religion and director of The Center for Practical Ethics.
2. Social and Behavioral Sciences: Hannah Allen, assistant professor of public health; Saijun Zhang, associate professor of social work; and Minsoo Kang, professor of health, exercise science and recreation management.
3. Life Science, Physical Science, Math or Engineering: Eden Tanner, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry; Sasan Nouranian, associate professor of chemical engineering; Nikki Reinemann, associate professor of biomedical engineering; and Gregg Roman, professor of pharmacology.

The university’s Office of Technology Commercialization recognized Nathan Hammer and Michael Repka as UM Inventors. Hammer and Repka lead teams that have earned U.S. patents for innovative technologies.

“The faculty honored tonight are changing the face of this university,” said Higginbotham. “Their work doesn’t just add to academic knowledge; it builds a foundation for future discovery, collaboration and leadership on our campus.”

The event was a celebration of the university’s commitment to excellence in research and creative scholarship. It highlighted the contributions of faculty members who have made significant impacts in their respective fields and paved the way for future generations of researchers and scholars. “Each step from assistant to associate then full professor creates an arc of accomplishments that deserves to be recognized,” said Provost Noel Wilkin. “The chancellor saw the need to highlight outstanding faculty throughout their careers, and so we created the Awards for Research and Creative Scholarship.”

The awards were a testament to the university’s dedication to providing its students with a world-class education and to fostering a culture of excellence in research and creative scholarship.

“We need you to continue to be the example not just for your students, but for our young researchers, too. Help them change the world,” said Chancellor Glenn Boyce.
