SMART has awarderd 7 Singapore-MIT Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SMURF) to students for participating in BioSyM's research. SMURF fellowship enables undergraduates from MIT, NTU and NUS to participate in a MIT-SMART faculty member’s Singapore research project and interact with students and faculty from diverse backgrounds. Each undergraduate will have a MIT-SMART researcher as a mentor/supervisor and conduct research within the faculty member’s research project.
The American Chemical Society has elected 213 members as ACS Fellows. The new Fellows will be honored at the society’s fall national meeting in Denver later this month.
“ACS is especially proud to honor these chemists during the 2011 International Year of Chemistry,” said ACS President Nancy B. Jackson in announcing the 2011 class of ACS Fellows. ......More
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature. ................
Linda G. Griffith, who has dual appointments in the biological engineering and mechanical engineering departments, MIT, was honored for her contributions to 3-D functional biomaterials, engineered hepatic tissues and cell transplant devices. ............. More
January 12, 2011 - An Invisibility Cloak developed by researchers at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART Centre) is voted 4th in Physics World's Top 10 breakthroughs of 2010. A competing research team in the United Kingdom is also cited by Physics World for a very similar approarch, developed independently but published three days later than the Singapore team. .....More
