Candidates are considered for these awards at the conclusion of the regular promotion and tenure review process each year. The program, which provides research funds for three years, complements the McKnight Land-Grant Professorship for new assistant professors and the Distinguished McKnight University Professorship for new full professors. As a whole, the McKnight awards identify and support promising faculty at critical stages of their careers.RecipientDepartmentAwardedWilliam LeebMathematics2024Peter KangEarth and environmental sciences2023Alexander OpitzBiomedical engineering2022Hyun Soo ParkComputer science and engineering2022Jeff CalderMathematics2021Samira AzarinChemical engineering and materials science2021Lana YaroshComputer science and engineering2020Tim KowalewskiMechanical engineering2020Tony LowElectrical and computer engineering2019Rafael Fernandes **Physics and astronomy2017R.
