Albert Carnesale (born July 2, 1936) is an American academic and a specialist in arms control and national security.[1] He is a former chancellor of the University of California, Los Angeles, provost of Harvard University, and dean of the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University. He was also acting president of Harvard while President Neil L. Rudenstine was on leave for three months.[2][3] He has also been active in international diplomacy on nuclear arms control and nuclear non-proliferation. From 1970 to 1972, he was a member of the U.S. delegation to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT I) with the Soviet Union—a major step towards controlling nuclear weapons. Carnesale teaches undergraduate and graduate courses at UCLA on topics relating to U.S. national security.[4]
