STARKVILLE, Miss.—A major research center at Mississippi State University has a new leader.

Bagley College of Engineering alumnus Clay Walden is the new executive director of the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems at MSU. He succeeds Roger King, who retired in June after a distinguished career with the university.

“Roger is an outstanding colleague and friend, and all of us wish him the best in retirement,” said David Shaw, Mississippi State’s vice president for research and economic development.

“We believe Clay is the perfect choice to lead CAVS into the future, and are confident he will provide exceptional leadership for one of our most productive research centers,” he said.

CAVS is an interdisciplinary center comprised of research, engineering design and development, and technology transfer teams serving industry and government partners.
