MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering
The Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) at MIT provides educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students interested in advancing the frontiers of nuclear science and engineering and in developing applications of nuclear technology across four areas: Fission; Fusion and Plasmas; Security and Policy; and Quantum Engineering. NSE prepares our students to make contributions to the scientific fundamentals of Advanced Computing, Modeling and Simulation; Extreme Materials and Environments; Nuclear Reactions and Radiation.
Our vision is a sustainable future where nuclear science and technology are leveraged for the benefit of humankind and the planet. Our mission is to develop the next generation of leaders of the global nuclear community, advance basic research, provide technical leadership on energy and non-energy applications of nuclear technology, and inform public discussion about nuclear science and technology, in order to address global grand challenges.
We are a dynamic and welcoming community with the motto Science, Systems, Society; pulling in talent from all over the world to address the grand challenges of our time.
MIT Energy Initiative
The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), MIT’s hub for energy research, education, and outreach, is advancing zero- and low-carbon solutions to combat climate change and expand energy access. MITEI is a crucial rallying point for MIT researchers and educators who share our vision and commitment to dramatically reduce emissions through the development of novel technologies and delivery of science-based analysis. Together we are dedicated to decarbonizing global energy systems and building upon MIT’s long tradition of working collaboratively and transparently with industry, government, and civil society.
MIT.nano
MIT.nano is the Institute’s central resource for nanoscale discovery and innovation, set in the heart of the campus in the Lisa T. Su Building. We are the largest, most advanced, and most accessible university research facility of our kind in the United States, with more than 200 tools and instruments in high-performance laboratory spaces, available to qualified researchers from across MIT, as well as external users from industry, academia, and government.
MIT School of Science
The MIT School of Science advances fundamental understanding of the natural world through cutting-edge research, hands-on discovery, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Home to world-leading programs in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and the earth, atmospheric, and planetary sciences, the School fosters curiosity-driven exploration while training the next generation of scientific leaders. Its faculty and students push the boundaries of knowledge to solve pressing global challenges and expand humanity’s understanding of the universe.
