The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee decisively advanced its aspirations to become a nationally recognized research school with the announcement Thursday that it hired a technology entrepreneur with a broad international background for a newly created vice chancellor post. The school hired Abbas Ourmazd, an Iranian-born U.S. citizen who worked for Lucent Technologies’ Bell Labs in the U.S. before taking on a leadership position with the German national technology labs, as UWM’s first-ever vice chancellor for research.
