Biography
Tom Magnanti, the President Emeritus, is an Institute Professor and former Dean of Engineering at MIT. He has devoted much of his professional career to education at the interface of engineering and management, and to teaching and research in various aspects of large-scale optimisation. His university administrative activities have focused on education for technically-grounded leaders, industrial and international partnerships, research in emerging technical domains, technology-based entrepreneurship, and diversity. He has received numerous educational and research awards and four honorary degrees, been president of three professional societies, editor of a major journal in his field, and served on several corporate and university boards. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
