Jeffrey Brock has been named the new dean of the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS), announced President Peter Salovey. Brock’s three-year term began Aug. 1.

A professor of mathematics, Brock is also dean of science in the Faculty of Arts & Sciences (FAS) and will continue to serve in that capacity.

“By serving simultaneously as the dean of SEAS and FAS dean of science, Jeff will be in a position to lead strategic thinking about the connections across science and engineering,” said Salovey. “In these two discrete roles, he will give shape to an engineering school and a home for science that both reflect Yale’s deep and distinctive commitments to the continuity and connections among different disciplines.”

Brock earned a BA from Yale College and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California/Berkeley. Before coming to Yale in 2018, Brock held faculty positions at Stanford, the University of Chicago and Brown. While at Brown, he was the founding director of the university’s data science initiative and served as the chair of the mathematics department.
