Berggren, who develops technologies to push the envelope of what is possible with photonics and electronic devices, succeeds Joel Voldman.
Using high-powered lasers, this new method could help biologists study the body’s immune responses and develop new medicines.
The tiny device uses a tightly focused beam of light to capture and manipulate cells.
One of the signal changes of 6.5, Electrical Engineering With Computing, is the organization of upper-level classes into tracks, including an undergraduate engineering sequence in Electromagnetics and Photonics. Jelena Notaros, Assistant Professor in EECS, developed a new class included in that track, “Silicon Photonics”.
Ranking at the top for the 13th year in a row, the Institute also places first in 11 subject areas.
