Professor Desirée Plata’s startup company, Nth Cycle LLC, was awarded the Department of Energy’s Innovation Crossroads award, a $0.5M entrepreneurial traineeship. The award was granted to Megan O’Connor, co-founder of Nth Cycle LLC and current postdoc […]
Ruben Juanes, the ARCO Associate Professor in Energy Studies, and Xiaojing (Ruby) Fu, a postdoctoral associate, received the Physical Review Letters (PRL) Editors’ Suggestion for a paper on “Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of hydrate growth on a gas-liquid […]
The Herman Project, a citizen science sourdough project from Assistant Professor Otto Cordero’s lab, was featured on MIT News. The Herman Project digitizes the tradition of peer-to-peer sharing of sourdough starters by asking users to document […]
Research from the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub) shows that using life-cycle methodologies before beginning infrastructure projects has both environmental and financial benefits in the long term. The researchers suggest that engineers and policy makers should complete […]
Assistant Professor Lydia Bourouiba was featured in the “Storied Women of MIT” video series for Women’s History Month. The video highlights Bourouiba’s contributions to the field of fluid mechanics as they are applied to disease transmission. […]
Research from Professor David Simchi-Levi shows that the Thompson sampling method, developed in the 1930s, can be combined with a linear algorithm to address revenue management problems. Simchi-Levi demonstrates that the Thompson sampling can be naturally […]
Institute Professor Penny Chisholm was featured in the “Storied Women of MIT” video series for Women’s History Month. Chisholm is highlighted for her role in discovering Prochlorococcus, the smallest, most abundant photosynthetic organism. The series was […]
Research from Professor Franz-Josef Ulm and research scientist Roland Pellenq was featured in Forbes. The pair found that cities with grid-like designs have more heat buildup than cities with more chaotic layouts, making these cities hotter […]
The 2018 QS World University Rankings were recently released and CEE is ranked among the top. The department was named number one for Civil and Structural Engineering and number three for Environmental Science. MIT was ranked […]
Assistant Professor Lydia Bourouiba is featured in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s series “Breakthrough: Portraits of Women in Science,” as part of a mini-series which is to be screened in theaters across the country. The Science […]
