Dr. Andrew Sustich appointed dean of the Graduate School and The Honors College Jan.
14, 2005--Dr. Andrew Sustich has been
appointed dean of the Graduate School and
Sustich,
who joined the ASU faculty in 1991, has served in several administrative
appointments including associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,
interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, interim dean of the
College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and most recently, as interim
associate vice-chancellor of Research and Technology Transfer. Prior
to these appointments, he also served as executive director of the
Jonesboro Field Office of the National Faculty, a non-profit organization
devoted to improving K-12 teaching across the country. Sustich
received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees as well as his Ph.D. in
physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Following a
two-year postdoctoral research appointment at the National Superconducting
Cyclotron Laboratory, he joined the physics faculty at ASU as an assistant
professor in 1991. He was promoted to associate professor in 1994 and full
professor in 1999. He and his wife, Laura, have two children, Thomas and
Sarah. His
physics research interests have included developing an understanding of
nuclear structure and dynamics through modeling (and comparison with
experimental results) of nuclear systems under extreme conditions of
temperature, density, and neutron-proton symmetry. He has also been
actively involved in revising the classroom delivery of physics
instruction at the university level, and in working to improve the content
knowledge and teaching skills of K–12 science teachers. Financial
support of his research, teaching, and service have come through grants
funded by the National Science Foundation, NASA, the U.S. Department of
Education, the Arkansas Science Technology Authority, the Arkansas Space
Grant Consortium, and the Arkansas Department of Higher Education.
