Shetty Appointed Dean of Research
Posted 5/12/2005
Professor Devdas Shetty of the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA) is being given responsibility for building interdisciplinary research programs at the college and university-wide.
Shetty will add the title Dean of Research to his many duties at CETA, where he already serves as associate dean, director of the Engineering Applications Center, and Vernon D. Roosa Professor of Manufacturing Engineering.
Following is a letter from Provost Donna M. Randall announcing Shetty’s expanded role:
It is my pleasure to announce expanded responsibilities within CETA for Dr. Devdas Shetty. In an effort to provide greater visibility for multidisciplinary research at the University of Hartford, I have conferred with the newly appointed dean, Dr. Louis Manzione. As a result, we have asked Dr. Shetty to add to his current responsibilities by assuming the role of Dean of Research within CETA. The selection reflects the confidence that Dr. Manzione has in Dr. Shetty’s ability to stimulate a campus-wide dialogue about interdisciplinary research.
This appointment reflects the strong commitment of the University to build interdisciplinary research programs, not only within CETA but also to explore partnerships that will extend from CETA into other colleges and schools.
Dr. Shetty is known for his contributions in establishing partnerships between the University and industry. In the last 16 years at the University of Hartford, he established research programs in the area of design, manufacturing, mechatronics, and laser applications. He is the recipient of several academic and research grants totaling $7 million from foundations and industry.
The integrated engineering curriculum was developed at the University of Hartford under Dr. Shetty’s leadership, with support from the National Science Foundation Curriculum Reform Program, and has been adopted by other engineering schools. Most recently, he helped secure a $1 million grant for laser applications research from the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) funded by the Air Force. He also designed a partnership with Albert Einstein College on the transfer of technology for ambulatory suspension systems.
It is fitting that Dr. Shetty will receive formal recognition as Dean of Research in CETA for these significant partnerships. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Shetty on his new responsibilities. His contributions to CETA and the larger University are greatly valued and appreciated.
