“López is president of the Council of University Presidents and has established a Ph.D. in industrial mathematics and a master’s degree in electrical engineering at New Mexico Tech,” the POWER Book profile on the Tech president states. “He also developed a $2-million microelectronic research, development and evaluation lab, and an optical surfacing technology company.”
