President and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Stanford University
John L. Hennessy is the tenth President of Stanford University, as well as Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is one of the founders of MIPS Computer Systems Inc. as well as Atheros. Since assuming the presidency in October 2000, Hennessy placed an academic emphasis on interdisciplinary teaching and research that is also reflected in a physical transformation of the campus, all designed to heighten opportunities for intellectual collaboration between faculty and students through programs that are emulated by universities around the world. Under Hennessy’s presidency, Stanford has undertaken major new academic initiatives to address important global challenges of this century. Interdisciplinary teaching and research has expanded dramatically with the creation of new cross-school, collaborative programs in human health, international affairs, environmental science and other areas.
