Doha: Farnam Jahanian (pictured), a globally recognised computer scientist, entrepreneur, senior public servant and respected leader in higher education, has been appointed the 10th president of Carnegie Mellon University.
Jahanian's distinguished and multifaceted career in academia, industry and the public sphere led him to Carnegie Mellon in 2014, as Vice-President for research. He then served two years as provost and took over last July as CMU's interim president.
As provost and chief academic officer, he was responsible for the CMU-Q partnership and served on Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar's (CMU-Q) Joint Advisory Board. He also serves on the Scientific Advisory Committee for Hamad Bin Khalifa University's Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI).
Jahanian said there is no better place to shape the future than at Carnegie Mellon.
