Faculty Mentor Spotlight

At Stony Brook, we believe that great mentorship is the cornerstone of discovery, growth, and academic success. Our Faculty Mentor Spotlight series celebrates the exceptional faculty members who go above and beyond to guide, support, and inspire their students and colleagues.

Through their mentorship, they cultivate curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning — leaving a lasting impact that extends far beyond the classroom or lab.
