James B. Duke Professor


At Duke University, the title of James B. Duke Distinguished Professor is given to a small number of the faculty with extraordinary records of achievement. At some universities, titles like "distinguished professor", "institute professor", or "regents professor" are counterparts of this title. Two Nobel laureates (Robert Lefkowitz and Paul L. Modrich) served as James B. Duke Professors, and another, Ingrid Daubechies received the National Medal of Science.https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025/01/duke-university-ingrid-daubechies-national-medal-of-science-mathematics-professor-signal-processing-research-wavelet-theory-fourteen-honorees
