For more than 30 years, the Carnegie Bosch Institute (CBI) has brought together industry and academia for research, education and collaboration in the areas of international management as well as technology innovation. Bosch and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have announced new leadership for the CBI as Christopher Martin, a CMU alumnus and 21-year Bosch associate who currently serves as director of engineering, research and development for the Bosch Research and Technology Center in Pittsburgh, steps into the role of president of CBI.
Additionally, the organizations announced a new $3 million gift from Bosch to CBI as the organization continues to stimulate relevant research in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. The gift builds on the long-standing collaboration dating back to 1990 when the CBI was established.
"The Carnegie Bosch Institute showcases how Bosch Research places a priority on collaboration with academia to pursue research that helps to accelerate technological development," said Thomas Kropf, president, Bosch Research and Advance Engineering. "Under the leadership of Chris, we will continue to explore the intersection of shared interest with CMU that enables technological advancement in these areas."
