“ The Masdar project has given me the ability to do research into important new areas of electric power systems research and drawn some impressive young investigators into my research web, where I am learning quite a lot from them.”
James L. Kirtley, Jr., Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
MIT Participants
Current TDP projects involve close to one hundred MIT faculty members whose areas of interest span across the Institute. TDP facilitates access to research in different countries and institutions for MIT faculty and students. It only undertakes research projects if an MIT faculty member is interested in leading the project and if the project will involve MIT students. Many TDP research projects are interdisciplinary and give its stakeholders the great benefit of MIT expertise and enthusiasm.
