The Thriving Stars program in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is on a mission to improve gender representation in electrical engineering and computer science.
A team of engineers have developed a new 3D inkjet printing system that utilizes computer vision for contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn’t use before. Using this system, researchers are able to print fully assembled, functional, multimaterial devices.
Ellen Roche is an associate professor of mechanical engineering and the associate head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. Her research team develops new devices and therapeutic strategies for repairing the heart and other tissues. Here, she speaks with MIT President Sally Kornbluth about her work, the advantages of taking a nonlinear route to one’s chosen career, and the importance of saying “yes” to unexpected opportunities.
A team of researchers have developed a low-cost fiber, compatible with existing textile manufacturing techniques that contracts in response to an increase in temperature, then self-reverses when the temperature decreases, without any embedded sensors or other hard components.
