POTSDAM – Clarkson University President Tony Collins has announced tenure and/or promotions for six faculty members:

• Diego C. Nocetti has been granted tenure and promoted from assistant professor to associate professor of economics and finance in the School of Business. Nocetti joined Clarkson in 2006. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Memphis, his MBA from East Carolina University, and his B.A. (licenciatura) from Universidad del Salvador. His research focuses on the economics of uncertainty, with particular emphasis on the development of theoretical models that analyze both positive and normative aspects of decision-making under uncertainty. In his latest research, he has explored the theory of precautionary saving in the presence of multiple sources of risk, the theory of comparative risk aversion among groups, and social discounting of environmental projects with uncertain returns.

• Douglas G. Bohl has been granted tenure and promoted from assistant professor to associate professor of mechanical and aeronautical engineering in the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering. Bohl has been a faculty member at Clarkson University since 2006. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University in 2002. Following graduation, he worked as a research assistant professor at the U.S. Naval Academy and as a research engineer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division. His research interests are in experimental fluid mechanics and in the development of optical diagnostic techniques. Bohl has been a part of a multidisciplinary group that developed a novel experimental technical called Molecular Tagging Velocimetry, which can be used to study motion, heat transfer, and mixing in fluids. His experimental work focuses on unsteady aerodynamics, methods for controlling fluid flows, and mixing.

• Boris Jukic has been promoted from associate professor to full professor of operations and information systems in the School of Business. Promotion to professor is considered to be virtually the highest honor that a university can bestow upon its faculty. Jukic received his Ph.D. in management science and information systems from the University of Texas at Austin in 1998. From 1998-2004, he was an assistant professor at the School of Management at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. After receiving promotion to the rank of associate professor at George Mason University, he joined Clarkson University in 2004. He has been the director of the MBA Program since 2009, and in 2011 he was named to the post of associate dean for graduate studies in the School of Business.

• Stefan J. Grimberg has been promoted from associate professor to full professor of civil and environmental engineering in the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering. Promotion to professor is considered to be virtually the highest honor that a university can bestow upon its faculty. Grimberg has been a faculty member at Clarkson since 1996. He was promoted to associate professor in 2001 and has been the chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for the past two years. He teaches engineering design, environmental systems analysis, and biological treatment courses, and has served as the faculty advisor to Clarkson’s chapter of the New York Water Environment Association for the past 15 years.

• Clarkson University President Tony Collins has announced that Martin D. Heintzelman has been granted tenure and promoted from assistant professor to associate professor of economics and finance in the School of Business. Heintzelman has been a faculty member at Clarkson since 2006. Since 2007, he has been the director of the Center for Canadian Studies and, in 2009 he was named the Fredric C. Menz Scholar of Environmental Economics. He holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. in economics and an M.S. in natural resource policy and behavior, all from the University of Michigan, as well as a B.S, in economics from Duke University. Heintzelman’s research focuses primarily on the valuation of environmental and other amenities and disamenities using property value hedonic analysis. His work in this area has investigated the impacts on property values of open space preservation, land use policy, wind turbines, and historic preservation.

• Yongming Liu has been granted tenure and promoted from assistant professor to associate professor of civil and environmental engineering in the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering. Liu has been a faculty member at Clarkson University since fall of 2007. He obtained his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University. His research expertise is in the multiscale damage mechanics of materials, probabilistic methods for risk assessment, and prognostics and health management of engineering structures. His research projects primarily focus on developing and understanding the behavior of structural materials under mechanical and environmental loadings.
