Yannis C. Yortsos is the Dolley Professor of Chemical Engineering, and since 2005, serves as the Dean of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and holds the Dean’s Zohrab Kaprielian Chair. He received a BS (Diploma) from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and MS and Ph.D. degrees from the California Institute of Technology, all in chemical engineering.
Yortsos was elected in 2008 to the US National Academy of Engineering, in 2013 to the Academy of Athens (as a corresponding member- a term used for members living outside Greece), and in 2024 to the Indian Academy of Engineering as a Foreign Fellow. In 2014, he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and in 2017, the ASEE President’s Award. Along with two other colleagues, he co-founded in 2009 the NAE Grand Challenges Scholars Program, which has spread at different times to as many as 100 engineering schools worldwide and, in 2022, received the Gordon Prize of the NAE. The same year, he received a Los Angeles area Emmy for the documentary Lives, not Grades. In 2023, Yortsos received the Chairman’s Award from HENAAC (Great in Minds in STEM) and 2024 the Claire Felbinger Award of ABET on Diversity and Inclusion. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and an Honorary member of the AIME. Since 2022, he has served as the editor-in-chief of PNAS Nexus, the first journal of the National Academies established in more than 100 years.
Yortsos has served as a member of the Engineering Deans Council (2011-2017), led in 2015 the ASEE Diversity Initiative, now a signature program within ASEE, and also served on the Executive Board of the GEDC, the latest term between 2022 and 2024. As dean of engineering, he has launched a number of educational and research initiatives, including establishing gender parity in the engineering entering class at USC Viterbi for six consecutive years since 2019. He received in 2024 an honorary degree from his alma mater, the National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
