New Members Appointed to NSB

On July 20, 2020, President Donald Trump appointed new members to the National Science Board (NSB) — the governing body of the National Science Foundation (NSF). NSB advises Congress and the Administration on issues in science and engineering. The four new appointees to the 24-member Board will serve six-year terms: Sudarsanam Suresh Babu: Governor’s Chair of Advanced Manufacturing at the University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Aaron Dominguez: Provost and Professor of Physics at the Catholic University of America DarĂ­o Gil: Director of IBM Research Melvyn Huff: Lecturer at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. Roger Beachy, Professor Emeritus of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis, has been reappointed to serve a second six-year term on the NSB. Earlier this year, University of Texas at El Paso President Heather Wilson was appointed to serve on the Board as part of the class of 2026. The remaining two NSB members are expected to be appointed in the coming months.
