Calhoun has been a faculty member with UNM’s School of Engineering since 2006, building his research program to include 10 graduate students, five software engineers and three post docs.
Calhoun was recognized by UNM specifically for his work developing techniques to integrate complex brain imaging data to better understand both the healthy and disordered human brain.
Junior Faculty Research Excellence Award winners are nominated by their
departmental chairs and selected by the SOE’s administrative committee, which
includes the SOE Dean, two Associate Deans and the Chairs from all five academic departments.
“This kind of recognition is great fuel for research,” Calhoun offers. “It reaffirms
for those within and outside of the process that the work we are doing at the Mind
Research Network and UNM is vital and valued. I very much appreciate the confidence of UNM’s School of Engineering senior faculty in my research endeavors.”
The Mind Research Network is dedicated to discovering clinical solutions for the
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness and brain disorders. For
