He'll probably move to a top-20 research university in Europe if he doesn't stay at MIT. (I sure wouldn't.)

We're talking about the former head of MIT's mech eng department here, a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an academician of Academia Sinica. The "necessary pedigree and web of connections to really kick ass" at research don't come from your parents; they come from your advisor and your research. His advisor was Chang-lin Tien, the Chancellor at Berkeley.

Your insulting comment is shameful and does not belong on this site.

He’s tenured, why would he leave MIT? Has there been any indication the university didn’t support him?
