Indian-born eminent educator Jayathi Y. Murthy has become the 16th President of the - one of the top universities in the United States renowned worldwide for its cutting-edge research and facilities, particularly in the fields of AI, robotics and advanced technology.Murthy, 64, is the first woman of colour to lead OSU that works on addressing some of the most pressing issues facing the planet from climate change to sustainability.An IIT Kanpur alum, Murthy is a leader in higher education engineering teaching, research, and service. She is widely recognised as a champion for advancing diversity, equity and inclusion and has made it her top priority at OSU."Advancing diversity, equity and inclusion is a deeply held conviction of mine and is central to my work as an educator and administrator," Murthy said. "As an engineer, I have often been the only woman in the room since I was 16." Murthy said international engagement and contributing to a global community are OSU priorities."At Oregon State, we celebrate the contributions and perspectives of more than 2,500 international students from over 100 countries and many international faculty and scholars engaged in the university. The unique backgrounds and experiences of international students and faculty enrich Oregon State's teaching, research and community engagement."The US public university has more than 34,000 students enrolled in various academic and research programmes. Indian students comprise the second largest group of international students at OSU after China."As someone who came to the U.S. to attend graduate school from India, I know the challenges - and new opportunities - you may face," Murthy said. "Please know that at Oregon State, we are here to support you. And we welcome you warmly to Beaver Nation.""My own journey is a story of access to education and opportunity to grow and achieve. I thank my parents for being incredibly far-seeing. They gave me opportunities as a young girl in India to attend one of the country's finest engineering schools. My parents provided me the opportunity to come to America for graduate school. My education enabled me to pursue opportunities in private industry and academia, and now to serve as Oregon State's president."Murthy assumes leadership of Oregon State at a time of great momentum within Oregon's largest university that has seen OSU set records in enrollment, research and philanthropy.In October this year OSU and OSU Foundation launched a major fundraising and engagement campaign that aims to raise US$1.75 billion to support a range of priority initiatives. Donors have already committed more than US$1 billion to the campaign with US$460 million earmarked for student support, including scholarships, fellowships and experiential learning funds and US$500 million for faculty positions and academic program support.The University has also announced a US$200 million research and education center that will harness one of the United States' most powerful supercomputers and team-based research in artificial intelligence, materials science and robotics to solve global challenges in areas such as climate science, oceanography, sustainability and water resources.The center will be named the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex following a gift of US USD 50 million to the OSU Foundation from Jen-Hsun Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, and his wife Lori, both of whom are OSU graduates."The Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex at Oregon State University will be much more than a building. It will serve as a university-wide promise and as a hub for advancing groundbreaking solutions for the betterment of humanity, the environment and the economy," said Murthy.The center will employ a NVIDIA supercomputer to support faculty in addressing highly complex and challenging computational problems. The OSU supercomputer - powered by next-generation NVIDIA CPUs, GPUs and networking - is expected to be among the world's fastest university supercomputers, powerful enough to train the largest AI models and perform complex digital twin simulations."AI is the most transformative technology of our time," said Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang. "To harness this force, engineering students need access to a supercomputer, a time machine, to accelerate their research. This new AI supercomputer will enable OSU students and researchers to make very important advances in climate science, oceanography, materials science, robotics, and other fields."An released earlier this year revealed that computer science has emerged as the second most preferred subject for Indian students looking to study abroad after engineering. In total, 12% of both millennial and Gen Z students say they are interested in computer science - second only to engineering (18 per cent) and ahead of business studies (11 per cent)."The cutting-edge research center will further consolidate Oregon State University's position as one of the most preferred destinations for frontier areas of science and technology among international students," said Olivia Streatfeild, CEO of - OSU's partner for international student recruitment."From India to China, Indonesia to Saudi Arabia, we are seeing a huge interest for OSU among some of the world's most talented young people who want to be part of the learning and research that can shape the future of our world," said Streatfeild.Prior to taking the leadership role at OSU, Murthy served as the Ronald and Valerie Sugar Dean at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science.Murthy received a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Minnesota, a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Washington State University and a Bachelor of Technology degree in mechanical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.Murthy is married to Sanjay Mathur, an aerospace engineer.As one of only three land, sea, space and sun grant universities in the nation, Oregon State serves Oregon and the world by working on today's most pressing issues.
