It’s nearing the end of 2021, and we want to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of our incredible EECS community by sharing some of the awards given by...

This ongoing listing of awards and recognitions won by our faculty is added to all year, beginning in September.

MIT EECS professor Jonathan Ragan-Kelley received ACM SIGGRAPH'S 2021 Significant New Researcher Award, for his “outstanding contributions to systems and compilers in rendering and computational photography,” according to ACM’s press release.

Muriel Médard, Cecil H. Green Professor, received an honorary doctorate from the Technological University of Munich in January 2020.

Nearly 10,000 undergraduates and 4,000 MEng students graduated from EECS during Anne Hunter’s tenure with the department’s undergraduate office. Chances are that all or most of them met Hunter, who retired in November 2019 after 46 years with MIT.
