The Department is delighted to announce the following promotions to Associate, and Full, Professor.

Researchers at MIT, Mass General Brigham, and Harvard Medical School developed a deep-learning model to forecast a patient’s heart failure prognosis up to a year in advance.

New photonic device efficiently beams light into free space
Light-emitting structures that curl off the chip surface could enable advanced displays, high-speed optical communications, and larger-scale quantum computers.

2026 MacVicar Faculty Fellows named
MIT professors Amos Winter and Nikolai Zeldovich are honored for exceptional undergraduate teaching.

Through an interdisciplinary collaboration between MIT and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, researchers are creating playable physical and synthesized replicas.

The engineered tissue grafts could take on the liver’s function and help thousands of people with liver failure.

By providing holistic information on a cell, an AI-driven method could help scientists better understand disease mechanisms and plan experiments.

Mixing generative AI with physics to create personal items that work in the real world
To help generative AI models create durable, real-world accessories and decor, the PhysiOpt system runs physics simulations and makes subtle tweaks to its 3D blueprints.

New method could increase LLM training efficiency
By leveraging idle computing time, researchers can double the speed of model training while preserving accuracy.
