Bio:

Professor Emeritus and former Dean Bruce R. White, a pioneer in environmental wind engineering who saved the San Francisco Giants from a design disaster at AT&T Park, died April 25, 2018. He was 69.

He held a number of college leadership positions, and also had a campus leadership role as interim vice provost, Academic Personnel (now called Academic Affairs), 2007-08. In his college, he was acting associate dean of graduate studies, 1990; associate dean of academic personnel and planning, 2001-02; and dean, 2009-10.

He retired in 2011, then returned to serve as executive associate dean until December 2016. During this time he led the Engineering Translational Technology Center, which assists startups based on intellectual property.
