Research Fields
The Design Laboratory of the MIT Department of Ocean Engineering was founded in 1972 by Prof. Chryssostomos Chryssostomidis. The laboratory's research has centered on Ship Design, Offshore Structure Design, Marine Robotics, Geometric and Solid Modeling, Advanced Manufacturing, Distributed Information Systems, Computational Geometry, Shipbuilding, Producibility, and Life Cycle issues. Since January 2005, the Design Laboratory has been under Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Current Research Projects
Center for Environmental Sensing and Modeling (CENSAM)
Pervasive sensing provides a new paradigm for monitoring, modeling and control of natural and infrastructure systems that affect the environment. CENSAM aims to create a center of excellence in environmental sensing and modeling that will demonstrate the importance of pervasive sensing through applications in the well managed urban environment in Singapore.
