Ahmad Pratama returns to Stony Brook University in new role


Richard L. McCormick Interim President | Stony Brook University

Ahmad Pratama, a man of science, attributes his arrival at Stony Brook University to fate. "Fate brought me here not once, but twice," he says.

In 2014, Ahmad came to Stony Brook as a Fulbright Scholar in the department of Technology and Society within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Now, he returns as the University Libraries’ data literacies lead and is enthusiastic about being on campus again, believing it to be divine intervention.
