Profile

Dorota A. Grejner-Brzezinska

ERVA Principal Investigator
Vice Chancellor for Research
University of Wisconsin-Madison

“The solutions to the most complex research, technological and societal challenges cannot be accomplished entirely within one academic discipline; they require contributions from neighboring disciplines as well. ERVA is a new, independent, diverse and collaborative platform that will enable just that.”
