John Lehoczky Bio

Dr. Lehoczky received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Oberlin College and his master's and doctoral degrees in statistics from Stanford University, and he joined the Carnegie Mellon faculty in 1969. His main teaching and research interests involve the theory and application of stochastic processes to model the behavior of real applications. He has developed methodology that has been adopted by projects ranging from NASA's Space Station and Mars Rover to the GPS Satellite System and F-35 aircraft. Lehoczky has led H&SS since 2000, first as interim dean before he was appointed to a full term in 2000, and reappointed in 2006. He has overseen the launch of the college's ambitious Humanities Initiative, a collaborative effort of Carnegie Mellon's humanities departments to produce alumni who have the skills to solve real-world problems, the flexibility to adapt to changing technology and markets, and a respect for intellectual and cultural diversity. He is one of the founders of Carnegie Mellon's master's degree program in Computational Finance, a collaborative effort of the Department of Statistics, the Department of Mathematical Sciences, the Tepper School of Business, and the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management. Lehoczky is a trustee of the National Institute of Science, and he has been published extensively in a variety of journals including Annals of Applied Probability, Management Science and Real-Time Systems.
