Software Tools for Academics and Researchers

The goal of the OEIT Software Tools for Academics and Researchers (STAR) Program is to make a suite of software applications and their associated databases accessible to MIT students and students from other institutions and their teachers. The intent of this work is to lead the student from introduction to mastering fundamental research concepts, and ultimately to independent discovery.

OEIT STAR Team received Infinite Mile Award as a recognition for our collaboration with MIT faculty.

The Star Program builds on the initial success of the Star teams’ collaboration with Professor Graham Walker of the MIT Biology Department, Professor John Belcher of the MIT Physics Department, Professor Nicola Marzari of the MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Professor Rafael Bras and Professor Markus Buehler of the MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Professor Melissa Kosinski-Collins of the Biology Department of Brandeis University, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
