Tsu-Jae King Liu, vice provost for academic and space planning, professor and former chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), has been named the next dean of UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering. Chancellor Carol T. Christ and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost A. Paul Alivisatos announced the appointment on Tuesday, June 19, 2018, citing Liu’s extensive experience in academia — as an instructor, researcher and administrator — as well as in industry.
In the leadership roles she has held, Tsu-Jae has demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence in teaching, to discovery and innovation, and to developing technologies that make our world a better place,” said Christ. “She does this while broadening access to the engineering disciplines for women and underrepresented minorities.
Liu will be stepping down from her current vice provost position on June 30 to begin her position as dean of engineering the next day, July 1. The appointment makes Liu the 13th dean of the College of Engineering, as well as the first woman to hold that position at UC Berkeley. Notably, only 60 of the 368 engineering colleges and schools in the United States have female deans, according to the American Society for Engineering Education.
Tsu-Jae King Liu has provided outstanding engineering leadership throughout her career,” says Lee Fleming, Faculty Director at the Coleman Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership. “The Fung Institute looks forward to working with her on continuing successes in the College of Engineering and across the campus.
