Andrew G. Hashimoto, dean and director of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR), University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, is a Hawai‘i native, but he lived most of his life away from Hawai‘i. Hashimoto was born on Maui, moved to the Big Island as a young child, and then to Oa‘hu. He graduated from Punahou School in 1962. He left Hawai‘i in 1962 to attend Purdue University, where he earned a B.S. in civil engineering in 1966 and a M.S. in environmental engineering in 1967. He received a Ph.D. in agricultural engineering from Cornell in 1972.

While a graduate student at Cornell, he went to work for USDA’s Agricultural Research Service in a program to assist egg producers manage their wastes. ARS sent Hashimoto to Clay Center, Nebraska in 1976 to start its agricultural engineering program at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center. His research focused on bioconversion of livestock waste into methane gas.

In 1986, Hashimoto left ARS to become head of the bioresource engineering department of Oregon State University. His major research area was the conversion of the crop residue to ethanol. In 1995, he became OSU’s vice provost for academic affairs, where he was responsible for undergraduate academic programs, enrollment management, academic personnel, institutional accreditation, precollege programs, summer session, and ROTC. Hashimoto was named CTAHR dean in October 2000.

Currently, Hashimoto is a member of the: Kamehameha Schools Advisory Board; Academy of the Pacific Board; Japan-America Society of Hawai‘i Board of Directors; Hawai‘i State Board of Agriculture; and USDA Farm Service Agency State Committee.

Hashimoto is the recipient of the Arthur S. Fleming Award, presented annually to ten outstanding young federal employees by the Jaycees of Washington, D.C.; Beaver Champion Award, presented by the President of Oregon State University for outstanding service to the University; and the U.S. Public Health and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellowships. He has served as editor of two scientific journals: Bioresource Technology and Biological Wastes.
