Our Team
Meet the faculty, staff, and students driving AI at Clarkson.
The Clarkson AI Institute is led by a Director and a Leadership Council of faculty and staff from across the university. The Director reports to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the same reporting line as Clarkson’s other Institutes. The Council works on a leader/leader model: authority sits with the people closest to the work, and Council members set priorities, decide, and act within what they lead.
