==Life==
Michael Alexander McRobbie was born October 11, 1950 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and grew up in the Gold Coast.
He graduated with a BSc from the University of Queensland in 1974, and with a PhD from the Australian National University in 1979.
His early work was in philosophy, artificial intelligence and automated theorem proving.
After a postdoctoral fellowship in philosophy, he founded an automated reasoning project, the ANU Centre for Information Science Research and the Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Computational Systems.
From 1990 through 1996 he was a professor at the Australian National University. He had a growing interest in international research collaborations.
In 1996 he and Kilnam Chon proposed what became Asia Pacific Advanced Network at a symposium held at Tsukuba, Japan.
In 1997 he became the vice president for information technology at Indiana University.
The network operations center for the Abilene Network was established at IU under his direction,
and the Pervasive Technology Laboratories were established with a $29.9 million grant from the Lilly Endowment in 1999.
McRobbie was principal investigator of a project sponsored by the US National Science Foundation to connect US and Asian national research and education networks called TransPAC.
The state-funded $5.3 million I-Light project connected all campuses of the IU system with fiber optic communications (further expanded in 2010).
In 2003 he became the vice president for research of IU.
In 2005, the TransPAC2 project was funded as a follow-on to TransPAC.
He was chairman of the steering committee for the Indiana Metabolomics and Cytomics Initiative (METACyt), which was the largest outside funded project in the history of Indiana University Bloomington.
McRobbie served as interim provost and vice president of academic affairs of the Bloomington campus in 2006.
He increased external funding by securing millions of dollars in grants for life science initiatives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IU Fact Book 2008-09 )
On July 2006 trip through China he established a cooperative research program with Tsinghua University in Beijing.
By September 2006, the previous president of Indiana University, Adam Herbert, announced he wanted to leave office before July 2008.
On March 1, 2007 McRobbie was selected as IU's 18th president and took office on July 1, 2007.
He served on the board of directors for ChaCha (the Indiana-based search engine). Some press were critical of a deal that used IU library staff as "guides", although McRobbie resigned from the board before becoming president of the University.
McRobbie was made a Sagamore of the Wabash, the highest honor the state can bestow, in 2007 by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.
That same year he received an honorary degree from the University of Queensland.
In 2008 he received an honorary degree from Sungkyunkwan University in Korea,
and one from the Australian National University in 2010.〔
Also in 2010 he was named an officer of the Order of Australia,〔
but became a US citizen in October.
McRobbie was served on the board of trustees for Internet2 since 2009, and was named chair of the starting in 2012.
In 2012 he announced a new supercomputer called Big Red II at IU.
Although other universities operate larger computers, by some measures this Cray XK7 was expected to be the largest for use by a single US university and not a consortium or national resource.
The original Big Red computer was installed in 2006.
McRobbie has three children and three stepchildren. His wife Laurie Burns McRobbie was born in Michigan, and worked as a technologist for 20 years. Both of them had been widowed before they married in 2005.
She was executive director of member and partner relations for Internet2, and an adjunct faculty member in IU’s School of Informatics.〔
