The advanced fabrication tools will enable the next generation of microelectronics and microsystems while bridging the gap from the lab to commercialization.

The device detects the same molecules that cell receptors do, and may enable routine early screening for cancers and other diseases.

This chair appointment recognizes his groundbreaking research, excellent teaching and mentoring, and exceptional contributions to the department and to MIT.

A new low-temperature growth and fabrication technology allows the integration of 2D materials directly onto a silicon circuit, which could lead to denser and more powerful chips.

The teams will work toward sustainable microchips and topological materials as well as socioresilient materials design.
