Dorota Grejner-Brzezinska recently joined UW–Madison as its new Vice Chancellor for Research and as a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
She oversees the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, boasting more than $1.52 billion in annual research expenditures, a figure that puts UW–Madison in the top 10 in the nation among universities for volume of research. The office includes administration of 20 cross-campus research offices and interdisciplinary centers.
In her own research, Brzezinska has made a significant international impact on advancing research in the application of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), to assure location/navigation solution anytime, anywhere and for any moving platform—work that intersects her long fascination with stories of explorers, as well as a love of maps she shares with Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research Cynthia Czajkowski, who recently served as interim VCR.
