Madhavi Kadakia has been appointed vice provost for research and innovation at Wright State University.
She has served as the interim vice provost for research and innovation since last July, Wright State said in a press release.
Interim provost Oliver H. Evans said Kadakia has displayed the management skills and strategic vision to serve Wright State.
“More importantly, Dr. Kadakia has a vision for moving Wright State forward in several strategic areas, of which one of the most significant is the development of a collaborative relationship between the multiple directorates within Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Wright State University,” Evans said.
Wright State has long worked with Wright-Patterson, providing interns and jobseekers, and the university frequently receives research grants from the federal government.
Wright State said Kadakia would continue to work closely with all academic and administrative units across the university in her new role.
