Cleveland State University | Faculty Expertise Database

Cleveland State University's Faculty Expertise Database was developed as a service to the CSU community and the general public. In particular, the database is expected to:

increase the public's accessibility to CSU expertise
give business, industry, government, and media representatives access to CSU researchers
foster research collaboration
help students search for faculty advisors
help staff members identify faculty for current and prospective donors
improve contacts with potential research sponsors

Select a method of searching our database:

You can search faculty research profiles by using research interest or expertise keywords. Alternatively, you can search for a particular faculty member's research profile by entering his or her name or department.
