ABOUT MILDRED S. DRESSELHAUS

Mildred Millie Dresselhaus was a beloved MIT professor whose research helped unlock the mysteries of carbon, the most fundamental of organic elements—earning her the nickname “queen of carbon science.” She is well-known for her work with graphene, fullerenes (also known as buckyballs), bismuth nanowires, and low dimensional thermoelectricity. She developed the concept of the nanotube, a single-layer sheet of carbon atoms that is incredibly thin and yet incredibly strong.

With appointments in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Physics, Dresselhaus was a member of the MIT faculty for 50 years. In 1985 she was honored with the title of Institute Professor, an esteemed position held by no more than 12 MIT professors at one time. A winner of numerous awards, Dresselhaus was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Science, and the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience. She was inducted into the U.S. National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

Dresselhaus led MIT and her field not only through her research and teaching, but with her longstanding commitment to promoting gender equity in science and engineering and a dedication to mentorship and teaching. She received a Carnegie Foundation grant in 1973 to support her efforts to encourage women to enter traditionally male dominated fields of science and engineering.

In honor of Millie, MIT.nano hosts the Mildred S. Dresselhaus Lecture annually in November, the month of Millie's birthday. The event recognizes a significant figure in science and engineering from anywhere in the world whose leadership and impact echo Millie’s life, accomplishments, and values.

Dresselhaus Lecture: Prof. Jennifer Lewis

On Monday, June 16, in the open space sometimes called the “outfinite,” we will gather to celebrate the naming of the L. Rafael Reif Innovation Corridor.

In his decade as MIT’s 17th president, President Reif led a period of transformative change on campus, including the development of the Lisa T. Su Building, created to house MIT.nano, and the establishment of the Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing. Recognizing the powerful symbiosis between MIT and the surrounding innovation ecosystem, he spearheaded important advances beyond our campus as well, including the redevelopment of Kendall Square and the pioneering tough-tech incubator, The Engine.

President Reif left an indelible mark on the Institute. Our community celebrates the dedication of the Innovation Corridor in recognition of his inspired leadership.

Reif Innovation Corridor Dedication
Monday, June 16
4:30 pm ceremony
