According to his CV, he did get tenure.

  At 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!

    I 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

      Interesting, thanks!

    There 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.
