Professor, effective July 1. A committee of Regents and chaired professors recommended him for this honor, and their recommendation has been confirmed by Provost Jean-Lou Chameau.

Tech is allowed to nominate up to two individuals per year for appointment as Regents' Professors. Those considered already hold the distinction of professor and are nominated by their colleges based on excellence in research and teaching and contributions to their profession and to Tech over a period of time. A committee made up of Regents' Professors and other chaired professors representing the six colleges considers the nominations and makes a recommendation to the provost.

Uzer's research interests concern the intersection of theoretical atomic, molecular, and chemical physics with nonlinear dynamics and chaos. Current research areas include: energy levels, spectroscopy and ionization of highly excited atoms in external fields, periodic orbits and their influence on spectra, nondispersive electronic wavepackets in atoms, dynamics of energy flow in molecules, and mechanisms of unimolecular chemical reactions.
