“Andy Hamilton has led major initiatives to strengthen Yale in science engineering and medicine while at the same time enthusiastically supporting investments in the humanities social sciences and the arts” Levin said. “He is a first-rate scholar who is respected by his faculty colleagues as a wise academic leader. “Hamilton the Benjamin Silliman Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry has been a member of Yale’s faculty since 1997. In that time he served as chair of the Chemistry Department and deputy provost for science and technology helping to create the Center for Genomics and Proteomics and the Institute for Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering. More recently he guided the planning of research programs and facilities on Yale’s developing West Campus and recruited Kyle Vanderlick as Dean of Engineering with whom he worked to resurrect the School of Engineering. In other areas he helped to form the interdisciplinary Humanities Program and to bolster the undergraduate curriculum by revamping requirements in science quantitative reasoning humanities and arts.
