Joseph Augustyn Callenes-Sloan (Sept. 2, 1983 – Dec. 27, 2023)

Headshot of man

It is with great sadness that we share computer engineering Professor Joseph Callenes-Sloan died peacefully at home in Alexandria, Virginia, of a heart disease on Dec. 27, 2023. 

Joseph had many friends and colleagues throughout the college and university and left a legacy of impact through his teaching and research, most recently securing a patent for an innovative approach to curbing wildfire spread (with electrical engineering Associate Professor Majid Poshtan).

Counseling support is available for faculty/staff through the Employee Assistance Hotline 24/7 at 800-367-7474. Students can access 24/7 counseling by calling 805-756-2511.
