EECS Celebrates Awards

Professor James Fujimoto and two additional MIT affiliates honored for influential work on optical coherence tomography, which allows rapid detection of retinal disease, among other applications.

Undergraduate engineering and computer science programs are No. 1; undergraduate business program is No. 2.

The Simons Investigator program supports “outstanding theoretical scientists who receive a stable base of research support from the foundation, enabling them to undertake the long-term study of fundamental questions.”

The MIT School of Engineering recently honored outstanding faculty, students, and staff with its 2023 awards.

The Department established the FRIF awards in 2011 to provide tenured, mid-career faculty with the funding resources and freedom necessary to explore new research directions, resulting in potentially important discoveries through early-stage research.

Hae Won Lee and Jiadi Zhu, PhD students in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), have been chosen as winners of the fellowship this year, for their proposal titled “Low-temperature Heterogeous Integration of MoS2 Transistors on Silicon CMOS Circuits for RF Energy Harvesting”.

The EECS community came together to celebrate faculty, student, and staff achievements over the past year.

Ranking at the top for the 12th year in a row, the Institute also places first in 11 subject areas.

The Fulbright US Student Program funds opportunities for research, graduate study, and teaching abroad.

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
