He will be joined in a discussion by Jamshed Bharucha, President of The Cooper Union, who was born and raised in India and moved to the United States to pursue several degrees in higher education. In addition, President Bharucha is a cognitive neuroscientist who has been published on the cognitive and neural underpinnings of music. Prior to Cooper Union, he served as former vice provost of Tufts University.
