Kennedy is an alumnus of the Lowell Technological Institute Class of 1970.[1] The Lowell Technological Institute merged with the Lowell State College to become the University of Lowell in 1972. It joined the UMass system in 1991 to become Umass Lowell.[2] The William J. and John F. Kennedy College of Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell comprises six departments: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics & Applied Physics. The Dean of the Kennedy College of Sciences is Noureddine Melikechi, D.Phil.

History of the Deans
DepartmentsBiological SciencesThe Department of Biological Sciences degree programs are Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology and Ecology, as well as the option to minor in biological sciences. Dr. Michael Graves is the interim chair of the department. The department has more than 20 professors and lecturers.[3] ChemistryThe Department of Chemistry trains students to be technical chemists as well as allowing them to explore research pathways. Chemistry students also have the option to focus in Forensic Science. Dr. David Ryan is the chair of the department and specializes in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry. The Chemistry Department has 20+ faculty.[4] Computer scienceThe Department of Computer Science offers degree programs and is also home to a Robotics minor program. The chair of the department is Dr. Haim Levkowitz, who focuses on graphics, imaging and user interfaces.[5] Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric SciencesThe Department of Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EEAS for short) focuses on earth sciences such as meteorology, environmental studies and geology. The Department Chair is Dr. Daniel Obrist, appointed in 2017. Dr. Obrist focuses on environmental pollution and atmospheric science.[6] Mathematical SciencesDr. Tibor Beke is the chair of the department. Some of the concentrations in the math department include Applied and Computational Mathematics, Business Applications, Statistics and a teaching option.[7] Physics and Applied PhysicsThe Physics Department has produced cutting-edge research that is used in high tech fields across the world.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} In 2016 a professor from the department and the Dean launched a satellite to Mars with NASA.[8] UMass Lowell's research nuclear reactor has done work with NASA, the army and many private high tech companies.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} The chair of the Department is Dr. Robert Giles, who specializes in experimental laser physics and optics.[9] Research Centers and Specialized LaboratoriesThe New England Robotics Validation and Experimentation Center provides a research, testing and training facility to academic researchers and corporations who work with robotics. Some partnerships include iRobot, Google, and NASA.[10] The Space Science Lab conducts experimental and analytical research to provide scholars and companies with information regarding the atmosphere and space sciences.[11] The UML Submillimeter Wave Technology Lab uses terahertz radar technology to create 3D scattering and imaging solutions to sponsors.[12] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/north/2016/06/03/umass-lowell-receives-donations/nvZwWmJ4hQcp3rOvtEgKRO/story.html|title=UMass Lowell receives $1.6m in donations - The Boston Globe|work=BostonGlobe.com|access-date=2017-07-06}} 2. ^{{Cite book|title=The University of Massachusetts Lowell|last=Frank|first=Marie|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|year=2012|isbn=978-0-7385-7565-0|location=Charleston, SC|pages=}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.uml.edu/Sciences/biology/default.aspx|title=Biological Sciences {{!}} UMass Lowell|website=www.uml.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-07-06}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.uml.edu/Sciences/chemistry/default.aspx|title=Chemistry Department {{!}} UMass Lowell|website=www.uml.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-07-06}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.uml.edu/Sciences/computer-science/default.aspx|title=Computer Science {{!}} UMass Lowell|website=www.uml.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-07-06}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.uml.edu/Sciences/EEAS/default.aspx|title=Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences {{!}} UMass Lowell|website=www.uml.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-07-06}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.uml.edu/Sciences/mathematics/default.aspx|title=Mathematical Sciences {{!}} UMass Lowell|website=www.uml.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-07-06}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.uml.edu/News/stories/2016/student-satellite-mission.aspx|title=Students to Launch UMass Lowell’s First Satellite into Space|access-date=2017-07-06|language=en}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.uml.edu/Sciences/physics/default.aspx|title=Physics & Applied Physics {{!}} UMass Lowell|website=www.uml.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-07-06}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://nerve.uml.edu/affiliates.php|title=Affiliates {{!}} NERVE Center @ UMass Lowell|website=nerve.uml.edu|access-date=2017-07-06}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://ulcar.uml.edu/index.html|title=University of Mass Lowell, Space Science Laboratory|website=ulcar.uml.edu|access-date=2017-07-06}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://spie.org/exhibitordirectory/details.aspx?company=univ.-of-massachusetts-lowell---stl-lowell-ma|title=Univ. of Massachusetts Lowell - STL : SPIE Exhibitor Directory|website=spie.org|access-date=2017-07-07}} External links
