Graduate and Postdoc

Born into a family of architects, Nina Andrejević loved creating drawings of her home and other buildings while a child in Serbia. She and her twin sister shared this passion, along with an appetite for math and science. Over time, these interests...

NSE PhD candidate Lucio Milanese expands a theory of turbulence to include both ionized and non-ionized fluids.

Mathematical simulations show the new approach may offer faster, cheaper, and more accurate detection, including identifying new variants.

MIT engineers produce a rechargeable battery that can be woven and washed, and could provide power for fiber-based electronic devices and sensors.

Wednesday, December 15, 2021. 1:00 – 3:00 PM Virtual event. Zoom The Del Favero Thesis Prize, established in 2014 with a generous gift from alum James Del Favero (SM ’84), is awarded annually to a PhD graduate in NSE whose thesis is...

By incorporating the scattering of RF waves into fusion simulations, MIT physicists improve heating and current drive predictions for fusion plasmas.

Jacopo Buongiorno, Jeffrey Freidberg, Koroush Shirvan, and Dennis Whyte receve MIT Energy Initiative Seed Fund grants for their early-stage energy research projects. Awards support research to improve the efficiency, scalability, and adoption of clean energy technologies.

Physicists and engineers have long been interested in creating new forms of matter, those not typically found in nature. Such materials might find use someday in, for example, novel computer chips. Beyond applications, they also reveal elusive insights about the fundamental workings...

Graduate school can seem like a pretty esoteric process, especially for underrepresented groups, says Eli Sanchez, a fourth-year PhD student at the Nuclear Science & Engineering department at MIT. “There are a lot of norms and expectations that are clear to people...
