Bob Brown, President of Boston University, Joins Steering Committee

Boston, Massachusetts, June 8, 2006 -- Mass Insight is pleased to welcome Dr. Robert Brown, President of Boston University, to the Steering Committee for Global Massachusetts 2015. Dr. Brown brings an important perspective to our leadership team based on his position at BU, his experience at MIT, his creation of the Singapore-MIT Alliance, and his leadership in the creation of three multi-disciplinary research centers: the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, the Broad Institute, and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research.

Brown is a distinguished scholar of chemical engineering and an innovative leader in higher education. He assumed the presidency of Boston University in September 2005.

Dr. Brown, 54, a Texas native, earned a B.S. and an M.S. in chemical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He earned a Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota.

Prior to his appointment at Boston University, Dr. Brown was provost and Warren K. Lewis Professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

During the last 25 years, he advanced his scholarly and administrative career, serving as co-director of the MIT Supercomputer Facility, Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering, and Dean of Engineering. In 1998, Dr. Brown was appointed Provost of MIT.

Dr. Brown joins other new members of the Steering Committee, Scott Eston, COO of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co., LLC, and Mark D. Thompson, CEO, Boston Private Bank and Trust Company. Click here for a full list of Steering Committee members.
