UA Professors Howard Ochman, Elizabeth Vierling and Richard Wilkinson are the latest to be designated as Regents' Professors. Paul Wilson and Carroll McLaughlin are the newest University Distinguished Professors.

He also is famous for his leadership of the UA Egyptian Expedition as well as for his excavations in the Valley of the Kings – most notably of the mortuary temple of the 12th century B.C.E. Queen Tausert, one of the few Egyptian queens who ruled Egypt as pharaoh.
