Research Faculty
Research faculty in the Viterbi School of Engineering have no teaching obligation, though many elect to teach up to one course per year. The criteria for research faculty appointments include scholarship and extramural funding commensurate with the research profiles typical of tenured and tenure-track faculty.
- Yigal Arens (Research Professor): Digital Government, Intelligent Systems, Interfaces.
- Wanda Austin (Research Professor): Satellite and Payload System Acquisition, Systems Engineering, and System Simulation; National Academy of Engineering.
- Malcom Currie (Research Professor): Engineering Management; National Academy of Engineering.

- Don Kleinmuntz (Research Professor): Decision Analysis, Resource Allocation Modeling.
- Richard Waltz (Research Assistant Professor): Algorithms and Software for Optimization.
- Peter Will (Research Professor): Manufacturing Automation.
Adjunct Faculty
Though not a matter of policy, the practices of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering reveal a strong preference for restricting adjunct faculty appointments to individuals with doctoral degrees. Adjunct faculty members are occasionally appointed on the basis of other criteria, such as other graduate credentials or decades of distinguished industry experience. The Epstein Department considers appointing individuals to adjunct faculty ranks on a case-by-case basis, and only if there are compelling rationales that speak to the individual’s strong qualifications for the role. These might include distinguished professional experience, professional honors and awards (such as NAE/NAS/IOM membership), or flag rank.
- David Belson: HealthCare, Management Engineering, and Project Management.
- Daniel G. Harvey, Jr.: (Adjunct Associate Professor) Stochastic Processes, Simulation, Business Processes and Databases.

- Michael Mann (Adjunct Professor): Technology Management.
- Thomas L. McKendree (Adjunct Associate Professor): Systems Architecting & Engineering, and Intelligent Transportation Systems.
- Jeffrey H. Smith (Adjunct Associate Professor): Multiattribute Decision Analysis, Mathematical Modeling & Simulation, and Robotics.
- Marilee J. Wheaton (Adjunct Associate Professor): Systems Engineering and Space Systems.
Industry Faculty
The unique professional environment that defines the Los Angeles metropolitan area provides the Epstein ISE Department with access to Industry faculty members drawn from the ranks of leading national experts. These full time professionals and industry leaders bring unusual levels of depth, sophistication, and relevance to the various graduate curricula mounted by the Epstein Department.
