AAAI Fellows are selected in recognition of their significant and extended contributions to the field (contributions which typically span a decade or more), including technical results, publications, patent awards, and contributions to group efforts. -
Thomas Shi-Tao Huang SM ’60, ScD ’63, a former professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT, passed away on April 25, 2020, three months after the death of his beloved wife Margaret. A pioneer in image processing and compression, computer vision, pattern recognition, multimedia retrieval, and human-computer interaction, Huang’s breadth and depth of scholarship was informed by a wide-ranging appetite for music and art. -
Artificial intelligence (AI) can become more efficient and reliable if it is made to mimic biological models. New approaches in AI research are hugely successful in experiments. -
When the in-person labs of MIT once again fill, the students of EECS will have a fascinating new set of tools at their fingertips, thanks to a generous equipment donation from Keysight Technologies. -
MIT professor announced as award’s first recipient for work in cancer diagnosis and drug synthesis. -
This summer has seen three new career development chairs appointed within the EECS faculty: Kevin Chen, Jonathan Ragan-Kelley, and Mengjia Yan. Meet the new chairs here. -
July saw two new chair appointments within the department’s leadership. Please join us in congratulating Asu Ozdaglar and Joel Voldman on their accomplishments, and learn more about the new chairs here.MTL, RLE, InfoSys, ApplPhysDev, Biomed, Systems, Theory, bio-EECS, Connections, Multicore -

The EECS professor is honored for his contributions to theoretical computer science. -
EECS professor is first woman to win IEEE’s Aaron D. Wyner Distinguished Service Award. -
Ruonan Han, Luqiao Liu, and Caroline Uhler of EECS are among those to receive support for exploring new research terrains. -
System lets Web users share aspects of their browsing history with friends, researchers. -
Constantinos Daskalakis adapts techniques from theoretical computer science to game theory. -
Google experiments suggest that the D-Wave computer exploits quantum phenomena. -
A tool that would provide a secure foundation for any cryptographic system may be close at hand. -
Is it still an either-or choice to receive (or not) all those mailing list emails? EECS graduate student Amy Zhang working with EECS Prof. David Karger in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab's Haystack Group, has developed a new system that uses techniques from social media to give the recipient more control over his/her inbox.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics has named CSAIL principal investigator Charles E. Leiserson as one of its 2015 Fellows for his “enduring influence on parallel computing systems and their adoption into mainstream use through scholarly research and development.” Read more. -
MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department Head Anantha Chandrakasan and Associate Department Heads Bill Freeman, Silvio Micali, and David Perreault announced in February 2015, the promotions of eight faculty members in the department. Professors Adalsteinsson, Daniel, Golland, and Torralba are promoted to full professor. Professors Chilpala, Polyanskiy and Vaikuntanathan are promoted to associate professor. The promotions are effective July 1, 2015. Read more. -
Five members of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of a total of eight MIT faculty have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering including Hari Balakrishnan, Sangeeta Bhatia, Anantha Chandrakasan, L. Rafael Reif and Daniela Rus. Read more. -
A new cybersecurity center made possible by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation will focus on cyber security policy -- one of three new academic initiatives (also at Stanford and UC Berkeley) aimed at laying the foundations for smart, sustainable policy to deal with the growing global cyber threats. Read more. -
MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) held a two day conference celebrating 50 years of computer science looking forward to the future with solutions for today's obstacles and tomorrow's solutions. Read more. -
Postdoctoral associate in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) Hamed Pirsiavash has developed a new algorithm that offers significant improvements in parsing video — linearly, no matter the length, with fixed requirement for memory and reaching conclusions in search more efficiently. Read more. -
Imagine being curious enough as an 11 year old — on seeing your babysitter's mysterious calculus textbook symbols — to jump grades in order to leap several years ahead in math? Scott Aaronson, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science and affiliate with the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), has always had a way of thinking beyond -- now looking for the truths in computational complexity, and consequently influencing the way computation is perceived and executed in the future. Read more. -
Professor Piotr Indyk and members of his group in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have developed an algorithm that betters his (and Prof. Dina Katabi's) work to develop a faster than fast Fourier Transform in 2012. The new algorithm that uses the minimum possible number of samples to analyze signals has the potential to allow advances in medical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) machines to scan patients.
