The American Institute of Physics (AIP) has announced that its Board of Directors has selected information systems expert Dr. John Regazzi as its new chair. He begins his appointment September 10, 2017 and will preside at the board meeting in November.
Regazzi is presently managing director of Akoya Capital, a private equity company, where he also leads their Professional Information Services practice. He retired last year from the faculty of Long Island University. Prior to that he was CEO of Elsevier, Inc.
In his new role, Regazzi will be responsible for providing leadership to AIP's Board of Directors and will lead their efforts to oversee governance, policy and corporate strategy for the institute, a mission-driven non-profit organisation based in College Park, Maryland, which is devoted to advancing, promoting and serving the physical sciences for the benefit of humanity.
Regazzi will also chair the Board of Managers for AIP Publishing, which is based in Melville, New York, and publishes journals devoted to the physical sciences and provides services and tools for the scientific community. Regazzi has already served on the AIP Publishing Board of Managers for the past several years, most recently as treasurer.
Regazzi's academic and professional background is in information systems - the computer science discipline devoted to the study of how data flows within and between networks and the design of hardware and software tools that allow people and organisations to access it.
