Rochester faculty newly appointed to named professorships

Several faculty members at the University of Rochester were appointed to named professorships in the first half of 2022. An honor designed to recognize the national stature of a professor’s work, the named positions are part of a long-standing tradition to celebrate the work of Rochester’s faculty as researchers, scholars, and teachers.  Appointments included Danielle Benoit, a professor of biomedical engineering, jointly appointed as the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor.
