Inaugural group of Ted Rogers School Research Ambassadors recognized

June 10, 2024
2024 TRSM Research Ambassadors

Ted Rogers School of Management faculty are at the forefront of research that is driving innovation and advancing knowledge, and a new initiative was recently launched to promote the school’s researchers. 

TRSM Research Ambassadors are a new group of researchers recognized for their lifetime research achievements, which are identified through citation impact and/or successful grantsmanship. These ambassadors are exemplars of the top-quality research conducted in the Ted Rogers School, and are encouraged to represent the school outside of the faculty to advocate for our research and researchers. 

“We have many researchers who are internationally renowned for doing exceptional work and leading research in their disciplines,” says Ozgur Turetken, Associate Dean, Research at the Ted Rogers School. “Through this program, we will recognize these colleagues as they reach certain milestones in their research contributions and impact. Our research ambassadors are a great reflection of our research community and the Ted Rogers School research brand.”   

Research ambassadorship is a permanent recognition, and a class of Ted Rogers School’s most accomplished researchers will be inducted each year. The inaugural 2024 class was recently celebrated at a launch event for this initiative. Here is a list of all of this year’s inductees (in alphabetical order):

  • Rupa Banerjee - Human Resources Management
