How would you describe your job (to a layperson)?
Together with my excellent team, we try to improve the ethos of research at Lehigh, from streamlining processes to enhancing the environment for research.
How do you relax? Exercise, sport, reading.
What is the last book you read? "A Most Wanted Man," by John LeCarré. It gets a 'B' grade -- great writer but this one isn't up to his usual standard.
