Harris-Stowe Professor Promoted
ST. LOUIS, MO (October 1, 2013) - Dr. Jayashree Balakrishna was recently
named a full professor of physics by the Harris-Stowe State University
Board of Regents. An HSSU faculty member since 1999, Dr. Balakrishna

Dr. Balakrishna earned her Ph.D. in physics from Washington University
in St. Louis. Far beyond her work day, she can often be found mentoring
