Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., has named Francis J. "Frank" Doyle as dean of its John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), effective in July. He had been associate dean for research at the University of California, Santa Barbara College of Engineering, launching a major push into bioengineering, according to Harvard.
Doyle will lead new growth for the school, which was renamed for Paulson last month, following the billionaire hedge-fund manager's $400-million bequest—the largest in university history. A 1980 Harvard business school graduate, he founded Paulson & Co., a hedge fund that manages $19.5 billion in individual and pension fund investments, says The New York Times.
