Faculty Research in Qatar

The faculty members of Carnegie Mellon are key to the
intense, innovative and creative environment that characterizes
our approach.

They are comprised of individuals ranging from senior faculty members of superior achievement, including Nobel prize laureates, to promising and aggressive junior professionals who are all dedicated as a team to fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and preparation for each and every student. Bridging theory and capital, Carnegie Mellon faculty consistently ranks among the world’s best for intellectual capital. Our faculty members in Qatar are working on a variety of research projects: some with colleagues in Qatar, some with our students and some with faculty
at other universities.
