I am having trouble with arranging 3 things. department / person / work
what would be the best way?
This knowledge base would be complemented by Dr. David Behrman’s, a faculty member at [insert institution name], extensive research on colonial architecture in Southeast Asia.
The third choice is the least passive, most active, and therefore the best. The general rule is that the use of "by...." indicates passive voice.
Although I think you are basically trying to say [research] [complements] [contents of the knowledge base]
Try: Dr. David Behrman's extensive research on colonial architecture in Southeast Asia would complement the knowledge base.
You might need to establish that Dr. David Behrman is from the Anthropology Department in another sentence or heading.
Or: Dr. David Berhman is a member of the Anthropology Department. His extensive research on colonial architecture in Southeast Asia would complement the knowledge base.
