Mohammad “Mo” Dehghani
Mohammad Dehghani (born July 27, 1955), known professionally as Mo, is a chancellor, visionary and professor of mechanical engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri. He is known for his innovative ideas and transformations of campuses across the United States.
Dehghani rose to be a prominent figure in higher education in 2013 at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he served as vice provost for research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. He became chancellor of Missouri University of Science and Technology, or Missouri S&T, in 2019 with a bold strategic vision for the campus that has yielded success for the university.
As chancellor at Missouri S&T, Dehghani helped secure a $300 million gift from Fred and June Kummer, which is critical to Dehghani's quest to reach his strategic vision for the university. This gift, the largest in Missouri higher education history, established the Kummer Institute for Student Success, Research and Economic Development.
