MIT-WHOI Joint Program student turns ocean data into tunes When you think of the sounds of the ocean, you might think of waves pounding on the shore or the call of a humpback whale. But can […]
Building materials and construction is growing and responsible for 11 percent of carbon emissions. How can we design and build better materials and structures that can reduce emissions and have better impacts on the environment? These […]
PhD student Sidhant Pai works on atmospheric chemistry models that may help policymakers improve air quality in their region. “I grew up with asthma as a kid, so bad air quality holds a visceral significance for […]
Understanding how materials fracture and break is critical to the design of resilient nanomaterials. Molecular dynamics offers a way to study fractures but is computationally expensive with limitations of scalability. To explore an alternative method, Professor […]
CEE and DUSP faculty members recognized for excellence in leadership, service, and impactful work tackling environmental and social justice issues. MIT associate professors Desirée Plata and Justin Steil have been named recipients of the 2020-21 Harold […]
A virtual virus spread between smartphones could help track disease transmissions in real-time Throughout the country we have seen states lifting social-distancing measures and spring breakers crowding the beaches of Miami. What is the effect that […]
The National Science Foundation (NSF) selected an MIT School of Engineering professor, who is developing new methods for sustainable design, to receive its most prestigious award for junior faculty members. Josephine Carstensen, an assistant professor in […]

Lydia Bourouiba is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT, where she directs The Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission Laboratory. Her research and contributions in 2020 led to a newer […]
According to the United Nations, the world has seen a rapid, seven-fold increase to the global population, leading to an important question in our quest to address human impact on climate change: how can we continue […]
For Elfatih Eltahir, malaria symptoms always began the same way: chills that eventually gave way to high fever, a pounding headache, and nausea that persisted until this cycle finally broke days later. First encountered at a […]
Luke Bastian holds his Navajo cultural heritage close to him wherever he goes. The child of a German father and Navajo mother, Bastian spent a lot of time visiting his relatives living in the Four Corners […]
When COVID-19 hit, it threatened the way of life much of society had become used to and challenged countries, governments and businesses to respond with ingenuity and technology. In his new book, The New (AB)Normal, MIT […]
