He also championed programs that made Georgia Tech a leader in educating minority engineering students and in recruiting and retaining female faculty. Bren Professor of Biology Henry Lester said that “Jean-Lou Chameau comes to Caltech with a reputation for deep interest in and effective attention to faculty and student issues. His vision and energy have led to productive ties with international institutions and with industry.” A Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar and Hightower Professor at Georgia Tech, Chameau was formerly dean of the Georgia Tech College of Engineering. He led educational and research programs in nine engineering disciplines—all of which have received national recognition and collectively confer the nation’s largest number of engineering degrees on undergraduate and graduate students. His technical interests include sustainable technology, environmental geotechnology, and earthquake engineering. He has received the NSF’S Presidential Young Investigator Award, the ASCE’s A. Casagrande Award, and the Society of Women Engineers’ Rodney Chipp Memorial Award. Chameau serves on the boards of MTS Systems Corporation, Prime Engineering, and l’École Polytechnique in Paris. After completing his undergraduate education in France and his doctorate in civil engineering at Stanford, Chameau joined the faculty at Purdue University, rising to full professor and head of the geotechnical engineering program. He became the director of Georgia Tech’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering in 1991, and from 1994 to 1995, he was president of Golder Associates, an international geotechnical consulting company. Chameau is married to Dr. Carol Carmichael, formerly the director of the Institute for Sustainable Technology and Development at Georgia Tech, where she had been for almost 20 years. “Jean-Lou Chameau impressed us with his intelligence, his vision, his 8
personality, and his extensive administrative and fund-raising experience and success,” said David Stevenson,Van Osdol Professor of Planetary Science and head of the faculty search committee. “We believe that he is well suited to the challenges and opportunities of the Caltech presidency in a time of change in the global environment of science, technology, and education.We expect him to be an engaging and energizing presence in our community of faculty, students, and staff, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.” 9
