Tsinghua University has a new teacher: Jensen Huang

Just having obtained a new doctoral title, Huang has been exposed for a new "academic" move:

He joins the Advisory Board of the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University.

This advisory board is chaired by Tim Cook. Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, Mark Zuckerberg... as well as Robin Li, Pony Ma, and Jack Ma are all members of the board.

Academic Huang

According to a report by the Financial Times, Jensen Huang has accepted an invitation from the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University and will join its advisory board.

The news has not been officially announced yet, but it is revealed that Huang has confirmed this invitation.

You may not know the value of this committee.

The Advisory Board of the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University was established in October 2000. Its mission is to strengthen the connection between the school and the outside world, improve the overall level of the school in scientific research and teaching, and help the school become a world - class school of economics and management.

The key point is that when looking through the list, most of the committee members are chairmen of well - known international multinational corporations, as well as deans of business schools at world - class universities and Nobel laureates in economics.

The current chairman is Apple CEO Tim Cook, who took over in 2019 and has been in the position ever since.

There are currently 65 committee members, including top figures in the tech circle such as Elon Musk, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, as well as big names in the financial circle, such as Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, Larry Fink of BlackRock, and Jane Fraser of Citigroup.

The leaders of a bunch of global giants such as Coca - Cola, Siemens, General Motors, BP, and Tata are also on the list.

In China, Jack Ma, Pony Ma, and Robin Li are also included.

The committee members usually hold an annual meeting in Beijing once a year. In addition to discussing the school's internationalization strategy and long - term development direction, they also give lectures to students at the School of Economics and Management.

To put it in an analogy, it's more or less the Chinese equivalent of the Harvard Business School Dean's Advisory Board.

Seriously, Huang's "academic" moves this year have been a bit too frequent...

Just in early May, Huang just received another honorary doctorate - an honorary doctorate in science and technology from CMU.

This is his 7th honorary doctorate. It was also at the graduation ceremony when he received this title that Huang left one of the most talked - about quotes this month:

AI won't replace you, but people who can use AI well will.

However, looking back at Huang's own academic career, his highest degree is a master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University.

Jensen Huang was born in 1963 and is 63 years old this year.

In 1972, 9 - year - old Jensen Huang and his brother were sent to the United States to study without their parents. As the "only two" Asian faces in the school, they often suffered from bullying.

Later, Huang transferred to another school and always had excellent academic performance. He skipped two grades in high school, graduated at the age of 16, and entered Oregon State University, majoring in electrical engineering.

After graduation, Huang successively held engineering and senior management positions in companies such as AMD and LSI Logic. But because he felt that he "didn't know enough", he began to pursue a master's degree at Stanford. In 1990, he obtained a master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University.

Well, this was what people thought was the end of his personal academic path at that time.

Who would have thought that after so many years of starting a business in the industrial circle, Huang's "academic career" has started to gain momentum again, and he has joined the advisory group of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management.

Hello, Dr. Huang. Hello, Dr. Huang.

"I'll pay for everyone. Can I get one first?"

However, compared with these titles, what has made Huang most well - known recently may be his fancy queue - jumping at the night market -

I'll pay for everyone. Can I get one first?

Make way! Boss Huang is paying for the grilled corn tonight!
