10 questions with David Madigan, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs

Northeastern University Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs David Madigan sat down for a wide-ranging discussion with Joanna Weiss, a special contributor to Northeastern Global News.

In the interview, Madigan outlined our institute's "enormously successful" efforts working with partners to solve pressing AI problems, calling out the expertise of our researchers and faculty and the global impact of our AI Solutions Hub.

What are some of the next big bets for Northeastern?

We have tremendous strength in network engineering. Our Wireless Internet of Things Institute is another area where we’re having significant impact, particularly in areas to do with mobile phone systems. Our Institute for Experiential Robotics is also going gangbusters. Our Institute for Experiential AI is enormously successful, both in terms of the research activity at the institute and the many affiliated faculty members across all of Northeastern’s Colleges. Its Solutions Hub works with clients all over the world. So it’s not just theoretical — let’s publish a paper together — but working with a partner to identify a situation where AI can really solve a problem for them.
