After 22 years at UC Berkeley's EECS department, I joined VinUni in 2022, drawn by its bold mission and incredible potential. In just a short time, I’ve helped shape research and innovation, launch Center for Environmental Intelligence, and lay the groundwork for Vision 2030—all with the support of a dynamic community and enthusiastic global partners.

There are many academic leaders who think about big ideas. VinUniversity is different. At VinUniversity, we not only think about big ideas, but we also turn those big ideas into reality. I have never seen a group of people come together so quickly and effectively to accomplish what would be impossible anywhere else.

Why did I leave a fantastic job and a satisfying career at a top University to move halfway around the world and join VinUni? It was a surprisingly easy decision. The people (students, staff, faculty) at VinUni are amazing – smart, dedicated, and passionate. To me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something truly bold, creative, exciting, and impactful that has the potential to leave a lasting legacy. As a physician-scientist, having the opportunity to pursue this is a true privilege. The fact that it is so much fun and so fulfilling is a huge bonus. I have not regretted my decision for a moment.
