- angry-tempest 6y agoSantosh Vempala is also considered to be a genius, at least in the statistical learning community. I don't know how he didn't get tenure from MIT though
- rosstex 6y agoAccording to his CV, he did get tenure.
- Cyph0n 6y agoAt Georgia Tech, not at MIT. Still a great achievement though (go Jackets!). Edit: my bad, looks like he was an associate prof at MIT, which means he was indeed tenured before moving to Tech!
- aoki 6y agoI have no idea what happened in this case, but that doesn't follow - MIT is one of those schools that routinely promote to associate without necessarily giving tenure [0]. [0] https://thetech.com/2010/06/11/tenure-v130-n28 https://thetech.com/2010/06/11/tenure-v130-n28
- rosstex 6y agoInteresting, thanks!
- tracyhenry 6y agoThere is a position at MIT called associate prof without tenure. So just because he was an associate prof doesn't necessarily mean he had tenure.
