Chad Kusko
I-CPIE Director of Operations
How would you describe your job to a layperson? As I-CPIE Director of Operations, my goal is to support I-CPIE faculty and faculty teams to propose and manage interdisciplinary research programs and projects.
How do you relax? I’ll watch any Philadelphia sporting event – Eagles, Phillies, Sixers or Flyers – and get caught up in the game and atmosphere.
Do you have a pet? Tell us about them. My family has two pitbull rescues named Cameron and Clyde. They love their walks through the neighborhood and running in the backyard, but mostly, they love just laying next to anyone in our family that will feed them at that given moment!
