Dean for research sounds like a big job at a research university with as much clout as Princeton.
It is.
Pablo Debenedetti, who was named the prestigious university’s dean for research five years ago, handles a great deal.
It’s just not a job that comes with a lot of publicity or notoriety.
But even though Debenedetti is scarcely quoted in media, he’s busy behind the scenes — working directly with Princeton’s provost and other senior leaders in encouraging the sort of innovation that has long made Princeton a world-renown campus for research.
